Hi, Yan,

Getting a blinking cursor is a lot better than some kernels ever do.  
Congratulations :)

Assuming that this is Linux-based, look into the kprintf function for 
a way to see what is going on.  

You are cross-compiling, so maybe you build a new module, and it's 
twin in the old distribution is getting used, when you think that you 
are using your new version.  I would look at the way that the Linux 
>From Scratch book, "Preparing for the Build" prevents this.  

Believe it or not, though I haven't built a kernel directly on a ts-
7xxx, I often compile other things directly on it, and use it as a 
development environment.  It has more capability than I expected.  I 
even run x-clients, and use another machine as the x-server!  

(With so much capability, I have wondered if doing tool-chain and 
kernel development directly on the ts-7xxx would be easier than cross-
platform development.)  

- Dan
