If you want to run android (otherwise, why you decided to use crane config?), you should consider finding official sources and guide. iirc, there were ones from @matson-hall

3.4 is somewhat 'beta' kernel and most of the users run 3.0 stable branch with native linux userspace using sun4i_defconfig.

If you want detailed discussion of your problem, hop over to our mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/linux-sunxi

@RipZ: the problem is that the u-boot preinstalled on the NAND doesn't properly pass ATAG info. in order to use any newer kernel from nand (or 3.0 with allwinner boothacks disabled) you need to replace nanda's linux/u-boot.bin with one build from the lichee-dev branch of u-boot-sunxi.

Thanks, @amery. I'll try later to replace u-boot.bin.
