xmon doesn't seem to exist in the linuxppc sources any more and I'm having trouble getting the one from the linuxppc.org 2.1.24 sources to compile with 2.2.0-pre5, which is the latest version I was able to pull from vger's anonymous cvs before it started always refusing connections.

I suggest you get a copy of my tree by anonymous rsync from samba.anu.edu.au::linux-pmac-devel. Look at http://rsync.samba.org/ if you need more information about rsync.
I'm working on getting linux up and running on a non-prep, non-pci VME board with a 603e and having some trouble with it. I've got the kernel uncompressing down to where it should be, but it traps when it gets a bit of the way in to init/main.c. When I write the contents of the BAT structure to dual port RAM on the VME bus, I get all zeros, leading me to believe I'm not setting thins up correctly down in the platform-specific sections.
It could be just that the RAM is set for write-back caching and the values are still in the cache. (Write-back caching is the default when the data MMU is disabled.) You can use the dcbst instruction to make sure the stuff you write gets flushed to memory. Paul. [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
