I am porting 2.6.0 (plain vanilla kernel) on Arm926 EJ . I can be
able
to succeeded in spawning init process in debugging mode and after
that
my kernel gets freezed. I am attaching my kernel log here with for
your
reference. I am in clueless where could i have to look further for
resolving this problem? I will really appreciate if some one could
give me
an idea for this.

I am porting 2.6.0 (plain vanilla kernel) on Arm926 EJ

This is an old kernel, try 2.6.6 or 2.6.7

2.6.6 (iirc) is the first to carry all the arm modifications as standard. It is best to try the latest version before asking questions, just in case the problem has been fixed.

If you are still having problems, check the code producing the ticks for the system, and check the serial code is working.
