I may be mixing up memories from Zaurus and dockstar. But I remember that on one of these if one forgot to erase the flash partition where the kernel was about to be written next boot would fail.
But I may be putting you of with this. Sorry for any inconvinience.

Davide,
I'm not sure what you mean by erasing the partition. I am
using these commands taken from INSTALL_KIRKWOOD.TXT:
setenv arcNumber 2659
setenv mainlineLinux yes
setenv ipaddr 192.168.2.1
setenv serverip 192.168.2.7
saveenv
reset
usb start
tftpboot 0x01100000 armedslack-13.37/uinitrd-kirkwood.img
tftpboot 0x00800000 armedslack-13.37/uImage-kirkwood
setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 nodhcp kbd=us root=/dev/ram
rw
bootm 0x00800000 0x01100000
*** install armedslack and reboot ***
setenv bootargs_console console=ttyS0,115200
setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/sda3 waitforroot=10 rootfs=ext4'
setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console)
$(bootargs_root); run bootcmd_slk ; reset'
setenv bootcmd_slk 'usb start;ext2load usb 0:1 0x01100000
/uinitrd-kirkwood;ext2load usb 0:1 0x00800000
/uImage-kirkwood;bootm 0x00800000 0x01100000'
setenv ethaddr F0:AD:4E:00:E5:BD
setenv eth1addr F0:AD:4E:00:E5:BE
saveenv
reset
Thanks,
Jim

If you can boot the image via tftp but subsequently not from flash then maybe it war not flashed correctly.

files again and made sure they were binary

armedslack-current (I had the original
armedslack-13.37 that I used on my sheevaplug) but
still no change. I'm confused because the kernel
boots after the initial tftpboot and I can install
software, configure the system, etc., but when I try
to reboot the system hangs.

>> I had this same issue and it was driving me crazy, it is a simple fix (at least for me). Simply re-download the kernel images and make sure that you are transferring it over in binary. I had used Filezilla to get my install and it was set to transfer all files in ascii by default which according to many people in the world today mangles binary files pretty badly. Hope this helps.

I believe it is due to a problem with my u-boot which I scrambled earlier. I have been able to find only one version of u-boot that will run on this machine (the guruplug version from http://www.armedslack.org/maint_kirkwooduboot loads but hangs after a 'reset'). This one works:

anyone see any problems with my u-boot

this be why the majority of u-boot versions I've
found do not run on this machine? Any ideas on
where I can find a suitable u-boot? I tried the
