Beagleboard XM boot hangs on kernel 3.14.20

[Kai]

Hi!

I just kickstarted to build kernel 3.14.20 for xM. when it boots, it hangs on the following, but it worked on 3.2 when I built using gcc 4.7 before. I suspect it is related to gcc version, currently it is 7.2.1.  I tried to build 3.2 using gcc 7.2.1. it also hangs on boot.

So I'd use gcc 4.7...

Maybe you should use an old beagleboard rootfs that doesn't need to start all systemd default services. Btw, afaik this kernel 3.4.20 doesn't handle usb, ethernet, framebuffer, it seems some patches were missing.
I tried several kernel, but all failed..
Try to get some issues solved by xM community here in google forum
