Thanks for the suggestions, Jon! Step 1 (erasing the flash) didn't make much difference. However step 2 (new UEFI from 13.02) seemed to get me past the kernel hang and I was able to boot up Android. However, even this is either a hit or a miss, booting sometimes and hanging other times. Hopefully, later versions of Linaro releases should fare better.
