Linux on booting stuck up with logo screen

Hi,

I successfully ported Uboot to NAND of mini2440 1GB. I converted the
zImage_W35 supplied with DVD to uImage using mkimage utility of Uboot.
I created jffs2 rootfs using rootfs_qtopia_qt4-20141223.tar.gz downloaded
from mini2440 download section. And then I followed Forrest's Blog to port
kernel and rootfs and final setup. I showed up as completed successfully.

But after reset and booting it stuck up with logo screen. the Uboot
messages in minicom are as follows:

MINI2440 # 
===========================================================================

the size of rootfs is 105 MB approx.

Please help to fix this.

Hi,

I doubt that the static partitioning done in kernel code mini2440.c must be
commented and rebuild the kernel image or enable command line mtdparts args
accepting should be enabled in the kernel and rebuild the kernel image or
enable jffs2 rootfs option in the kernel and rebuild the kernel image not
sure which I have to do. But if in any case to rebuild I could not setup
toolchain with arm-Linux-gcc-4.4.3 tar downloaded from the download section
of mini2440 page.

after downloading I gave the command

sudo tar xvzf Downloaded_tar_filename -C

It extracted the toolchain to /opt/FriendlyARM/ folder.

And I added that path to PATH environment variable by editing /root/.bashrc
and adding the line
"export PATH=$PATH:/opt/FriendlyARM/path to bin folder/"
at the end and saved the file.

And restarted to get effective. Now I typed arm-Linux-gcc -v in terminal to
check whether toolchain was installed properly. but that command showed as
"command not found". Even I tried by changing the mode of the toolchain by
"sudo chmod 777 /path_to_toolchain/" in the doubt it had not got executable
permissions by default. still the command arm-Linux-gcc -v did not show the
expected messages that toolchain was installed successfully. 

Please help me to fix this also.
