Well after adding gta04 in arch/arm/plat-omap/include/plat/uncompress.h
I now get

Booting from mmc ...

Starting kernel ...

Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

Then nothing more comes.

Yes. I think so too.
Now at least it gives me a little bit of output...

Well... I'll go and look for it.
Maybe I have to do some additional definitions somewhere for the
new kernel...

Hmm. Good idea, I'll go for it.
