Re: Kernel hangs on EP862-1.1 during boot

Hi Jan,

What you could do is check of your board data that is passed to the kernel
is still valid in start_kernel.
Also, are you sure you have the kernel uart driver properly configured
(i.e. it works but you don't see anything)

Hello all,
I'm having trouble getting a 2.4.22 kernel to boot on an Embedded Planet
EP862-1.1 board (based on an MPC860). I get this:
---
Loaded addresses 00400000 through 0049FFFF.

Uncompressing Linux...done.
Now booting the kernel

I've searched the archives, but no one seems to have this board/problem
combination. I've made sure the watchdog timer is disabled and that the
IMMR (0xfa200000) is set correctly. Being pretty new to this, I don't
really know where else to look. Maybe something related to m8xx_board_info?

The thing is, I've been able to get an old kernel (2.4.7) from Timesys
that's configured for an RPX Classic board to boot correctly. I just
can't figure out what they may have done that I haven't.

Any suggestions??

Thanks
