Hello, L4 hackers.

I have questions about booting "Hello world" on myboard.
Please help me.

I'm try to boot "Hello world + L4re + fiasco" on my board of which name 
is 'freescale i.MX6 Quad SABRE SD'(Cortex-A9,ARMv7).
I built L4re and Fiasco. So, i got L4 build tree and fiasco image.
Although i have built uimage file by "make uimage" and and i try to 
"make qemu", i was not able to run "hello world".
(For reference,i have run original linux of which name is Linux/ARM, OS 
Kernel ,Linux-3.0.35-2508-g54750ff on my board(Freescale imx6q_sabre_sd))

<1. Result of the try booting on my board after "make uimage">

<1-1. My Question >
Why stop at "Starting kernel..." ?
Is wrong my environment variables in u-boot ?
(If it is the problem, how fix u-boot environment variables from '1-4'? )
Or, my toolchains(linaro gcc 4.6 (64bit) ) are a wrong choice ?

========================================================================

<2-1. My Question >

Qemu support cpu such as cortex-A9 and ARMv7.
But it not support mahine information for Freescale i.MX6 quad sabre sd.

Because this is the reason, Can't boot "Helloworld + L4re+Fiasco" by qemu ?
Or Is there other reason ?

Thank you, if you help whatever.
