Re: ELDK on MPC8260ADS board, Machine check in kernel

Dear James,

in message [ref] you wrote:

I am trying to get linux running on my standard MPC8260ADS board but I have
hit a dead end.

Reading the FAQ's and mailing list archives is recommended.

I am getting a "Machine check in kernel mode." error about the time that
ramdisks are setup.

Try updating U-Boot to a recent  version,  or  at  least  change  the
#define  for CFG_BCSR into 0xF4500000 (instead of the silly 04500000)
in "include/configs/MPC8260ADS.h" (also change  CFG_LSDRAM_BASE  into
0xFD000000 while you are at it).

I am using the linuxppc_2_4_devel eldk which I checked out this week and
u-boot 0.4.0. I have added the boot output at the end of this message for
those that are interested. I have also attempted to make some sense of the
backtrace from the System.map

It would have been nice if  you  hadd  added  the  results  of  these
attempts, too.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
