Most of the links I find, mention a drivers/usb/host/isp1362-hcd.c - is this available in your kernel?

Unfortunately it isn't. And I've downloaded 2.6.31 with debian patches and it is't there either. That means that it is not merged into mainline kernel.

After some searches, it seems that it is included in the blackfin uClinux distribution, and from time to time, someone ports it to some other project.

That means that there is some work to do for it to work (it would be a lot of luck for it to work at the first try of porting). That complicates the console availability again .

Update: Relevant messages about the port of the driver: http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb-devel&...sp1362&q=b&w=4
Update2: Sources for the original isp1362 driver (2.6.6, x86; seems that the blackfin one was based in this one) http://sourceforge.net/projects/isp1362-hcd/

P.S.: About my CF card: I've realized that nalim reported that he launched the kexec from the internal flash. In the previous test, I launched the kexec from the CF card and it corrupted the CF card contents. Perhaps it was important to avoid using the CF card when doing the kexec... tomorrow I'll try the kexec from internal flash.

Update (20091028): tested kexec from the internal flash. Same result as launching from the CF excepting that the CF is not corrupted.
