If I specify some size to the MEMORY_DISK_SIZE, MINIROOTSIZE, my ipaq also
hangs when I boot it on that kernel.

Adding some debug statements and the options DEBUG_BEFOREMMU and
VERBOSE_INIT_ARM my ipaq tells me:

undefined pagetable-addr enable-mmu

After that it goes into the brick-emulation mode (quite boring)

So its seems to be the cpufunc_control() in

sys/arch/hpcarm/hpcarm/hpc_machdep.c:
	printf("enable-mmu ");
	/* Enable MMU, I-cache, D-cache, write buffer. */
	cpufunc_control(0x337f, 0x107d);

	printf("console ");

to the the problems, so anyone have a clue what this means ?

I'm compiled a 1.5Y kernel.
