I built a kernel according to the instructions on the linux-exynos
wiki[1]. When I 'bootm ...' (no initrd), the boot loader outputs a bunch
of text, much as your screenshot. A few minutes later (I didn't time it,
but much longer than you would normally expect to wait), the screen
cleared, two penguins are shown and some kernel messages scroll
past. The screen clears again, and I'm left with it blank.
So, _something_ works better with the kernel from the linux-exynos
github repository, even if it doesn't get all of the way (but it may be
that I messed up my incantations in uboot).
