RE: mtmsr...

PowerPC 750 on a custom board.
I tried both the bitkeeper source (2.4.10-pre11) and also HartHat Linux CDK
1.2 version (kernel 2.2.14). Same problem in both the kernels.

I really appreciate any kind of help on this as I am clueless.

Thanks in advance.

My zImage hangs immediately after executing the 'mtmsr'

This is in the very beginning of the zImage, where it

uncompresses the

actual image. Can some one help me out.

What machine? What kernel?  From where?

Well, both of those sources are very different.  Are you running this
board in 'PReP' mode?  Your own firmware or what?  Anyhow, if you're making
any calls back to the firmware later on, you must not mess w/ the MSR value.
