Dear Christian,

For some reason, it doesn't boot properly. It says "Now booting Linux",
after that something triggers a hard reset. For the last 2 weeks I tried
A couple of questions:

* Which bootloader are you using?

* Finally: did you disable the software watchdog?


Best regards,

I'm curious as to what an MPC8260 is doing on a board based on an MPC7410?
Is this a dual processor board?

Looks like the error reported in
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2002-02/msg00500.html
which was presumably fixed in binutils-2.12.
Where'd you get your compiler?
If you have a supported copy of Embedix, contact the vendor...
Otherwise, you might try upgrading to newer binutils on your own.
