Hi, I see something similar on my Allwinner A13 (Olimex board)

Running 'portsnap fetch' hangs after a while.

Serial console is dead as well!

A13 support is not in the tree, but it is very similar to the A10 =
(Cubieboard). I have some local patches, which I intend to send to =
someone for review (Tim? Ganbold?)
I just need to get around to clean them up a bit first.
