How does it fail?  Where does the crash happen.  I read in your
previous messages that the problem only manifested with your 1GB card.
It sounds like the problem is confined to this piece of main
(kern/init_main.c)

	cpu_rootconf();		// <- ok
	cpu_dumpconf();
	...
	vfs_mountroot(...);

It should be easy to narrow it further down.

I don't understand "doesn't freeze the device, but it stops the boot
process".  Does hpcboot refuses to proceed with the boot at some point
and you are back to hpcboot?
