There isn't although the three dots indicate your MBR, kernel, and
initial ramdisk have been read successfully. More than likely you'll
find something in the linuxrc script is causing the hang. I'd put some
echo debug statements in the linuxrc file to verify this and identify
what is causing the system to hang.

Assuming uname -r hasn't changed then you should be able to use the
sdcard.o driver as if you were using the default kernel on your board.
If uname -r has changed then ensure you pass the -f option to insmod.
