i'm using a kernel 3.7.1 and my board is freezing at boot point "Freeing init memory: ... ",  i don't know what way to follow to solve this and need help; some tips ?

The rootfs used is Debian obtained at the Olinuxino GitHub site :

Hi Marcelo,

Try to adjust kernel string to point to your rootfs partition on SD card. When using bootlets, string is passed to kernel from bootlets. Some more info at http://www.g-lab.ca

Solved: the problem was RootFS extracted with debian Packet Manager had some errors but, i used anyway... the RootFS  extracted in terminal console/ command line had no errors and ran ok

donĀ“t be stupid like me and, try to run sytems with extract errors... ;)

thanks a lot
