Kernel failed to boot when add more drivers

Martin,

Whenever I've had similar issues it's because I have a U-Boot environment
variable that assumes the kernel is smaller than it is.  So U-Boot may not
be loading the entire kernel which would cause your CRC errors.  Could you
you provide the following information:

How are you loading the kernel?  From NAND flash, SD card, TFTP boot?

Could you show us your U-Boot environment variables (result of "printenv"
U-Boot command)?

Thanks,
Bryan Evenson
