     Hi,my port of linux on 8260 ads board run successfully
after free_init_mem.I mount root on a ram disk init from
initrd.It cannot open the console driver(it is a symbolic
to /dev/ttyS0) .

What is the text of the error message.  The entire text of the
kernel messages during boot would be helpful as well.  This is
the very first access to the file system, perhaps initrd isn't
working.

I don't know where these came from.  I guess someone modified misc.c?
I don't know what they indicate, either.

Don't messages like this get your attention?  Something is wrong with
the memory map, board information structure, or where you loaded the
software kernel and ram disk.

Really?  So, you modified arch/ppc/mbxboot/m8260_tty.c to use an SCC?
You have to make lots of changes to use SCC as a console.  I don't have
any board that uses the SCC for a serial port (easily, without some
hardware hacking), so I haven't tried this.

Warning: unable to open an initial console.
/*open("/dev/console",...);*/

Not surprised if this is an SCC.  You have some work to contribute :-).
