this linux kernel into this board.Should i do any
sttings with ppcboot .please do let me know
i am using the tftpboot command but then
wheni tell go 100000 it tells
## starting application at 0x00100000

You have to download the FADS image. You have to create an image like this:
mkimage -n 'Linux FADS image' -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 00000000 -e
00000000 -d $(PATH_TO_VMLINUX)/vmlinux.gz fads-image
where mkimage is created as a tool in ppcboot
Then you can use tftpboot to download it (es. tftpboot 100000 fads-image)
Bye!
