Make sure your 860 is a rev C part or higher. If it isn't, forget trying
to use the cache.

Your CPU is a regular 8xx, not a 'P' (performance) variant, right? The
latter has "optimized" cache hardware that isn't (yet?) supported by
linuxppc.

It's an XPC860SRZP50C1.  I have another board with no ethernet which has an
XPC860ZP33C1 or an XPC860DEZP25A3 (this is on an older board).

The XPC860SRZP50C1 is a SAR processor though we are not using any of the SAR
capabilities on this board.  I hope this processor is fine.

Do you have a /bin/sh on your initrd? You'll need the shared libraries
too.

I think the one I have is statically linked so I shouldn't need any shared
libraries.  It is the one that is in the mbx-root-min.tgz file.  The shell works
fine if I use initrd so it should work fine from an nfsroot (I would assume).

Also, try running your NFS server in the foreground in a debug mode if
it isn't being used by other hosts. This will display exactly what files
are being accessed. You should see lots of directories, shared libraries
etc being read. I use

# rpc.nfsd -F -d call

but obviously kill any running nfsd first.

Now there is a good idea.  It's so obvious.  Why didn't I think of that.
Thanks.
