I tried to boot the kernel, but didn't happen nothing.
I followed the how to compile the kernel of fisherss site without
modifying the kernel source, only with the aximx30_lcd.c file, because
there seems to be already modified.

What did you modify anything? Or perhaps my crosscompiler doesn't works?
I took the file from arch/arm/boot/zImage.
