virtex-ii pro linux partition check hangs

I'm running Linux on powerpc on the virtex-ii pro. One of my ACE file
runs just fine. I was able to login to Linux without any issue. I then
created another base system with gpio and generated an ACE file.
Everytime I use this new ACE file, Linux boot hangs during partition
check.

Partition check:
xsysacea:

then nothing shows up. Does anyone know what error this is? Thanks
a lot!
