thank you! i believe its just starting rio so you dont get any more output.
interestingly, the framebuffer was set up without error as far as the kernel is concerned. otherwise we would get an error when trying to attach devdraw. on the bootargs prompt, enter: !rc then on the rc shell: cat '#ec/*maxmem' that should be the end of ram that the loader passes to us in the device tree. i'll prepare a kernel that you can copy into the sdcard image with more debug output... -- cinap
