Hi Derrik Weeks, I got the bash prompt.
A little research says this is not the case. As I understand it (with thanks to Wolfgang) Linux reserves memory space below 80000000 for user applications. In my case I had my IMMR based registers mapped below this value, and the kernel was setting mapping for this space to virtual = physical, which caused my problem. You may have the same issue with your serial port, it would be worth a try to move it to high memory and see if this resolves your problem.
I changed the hardware by some jump wire, so the serial port is now located at 0xff000000. I'll try the virtual != physical thing with my original hardware. Thank you for the reply! - Sangmoon Kim - ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
