I have my odroid-s that uses u-boot. After the u-boot do the processes, u-boot will jump to the kernel entry point.

What I'm trying to do here is, I am trying to modify the Linux kernel.

asmlinkage void __init start_kernel(void){
   ...
}

I found out that display comes out after console_init() finishes. I want to change my kernel just to print "Hello world" but do nothing else (like initializing memory manager or scheduler...).

Sounds like you're asking a programming question, that'd probably fit on StackOverflow better. – derobert Nov 14 '12 at 14:30
Changing the Linux kernel for that might not be the simplest option. If you're interested in this type of very low-level coding, there are plenty of resources to get started at wiki.osdev.org/Main_Page – Mat Nov 14 '12 at 16:19
