Bonelli,

What you are describing sound like a hang in the StrongARM not the
microengines.  The output which is being printed out inidicates that the
StrongARM hangs before the microengines are booted. (Of course, it's hard to
tell that exactly since the output is not synchronous.)  There are debugging
flags in Libixprouter/sa/src/control.c which can be set to help you track down
exactly when the StrongARM hangs.  I don't recall anything that would cause
this hanging, so this might be a good place to start looking.
