Linux on PowerCore CPCI-3750

hi

i'm swiss student, i'm trying to crosscompile a linux kernel for a Force
Computers PowerCore CPCI-3750.

i've found an old image and works fine but when i try to complile myself
a new kernel image the PowerBoot (bios on the card) give me an error

Starting image at address 0x00010000...


exception occured: 0x700
SRR0 = 0x00000000
SRR1 = 0x00080000
MSR  = 0x00000030
HID0 = 0x8010008D
HID1 = 0x70000000
L2CR = 0x00000016
*** Program Exception ***

so my kernel image is wrong,... to create the kernel image (v2.5 patched
for ppc) i've used the make bzImage and then with powerpc-linux-objcopy
i've changed the ELF32bit file in a binary data file.
what's worng? can somebody tell me where fine documentation?

thanks a lot

You should probably be using the 'linuxppc_2_4_devel' tree, see
http://penguinppc.org/dev/kernel.shtml.  Second, 'bzImage' is an alias
for 'zImage' on PPC.  Finally, 'arch/ppc/boot/images/zImage.pcore'
should work as-is.  This is true for 2.5 as well, so you can test with
your current kernel tree and just boot that file as is

I want to make a comment here. On the web page you mention there is no
clear indication on what kernel should be used for PowerCore CPCI-3750
or other embedded platforms especially it does not explain the
difference between the "linuxppc_2_4" and "linuxppc_2_4_devel" tree:

  linuxppc_2_4        stable branch
  linuxppc_2_4_devel  stable branch testing tree

A bit more explanation would be useful.

Wolfgang.
