Re: Ebony Board, PPC440GP and NFS panics

Is there something special that must be done for the kernel to be
configured for use
with u-boot?  A kernel config option, perhaps?

I double checked the include/asm-ppc/u-boot.h in u-boot against
include/asm-ppc/ppcboot.h in linux...and
did find a section with a #define for CONFIG_405, but not 440.  We'll see
if that makes a difference.

come out.  We think that is because linux is thinking the MAC address is
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff instead of what
it really is.  u-boot doesn't seem to have a problem getting the MAC
address out of the ebony board, but
this linux kernel seems to.

U-Boot passes the MAC address to the Linux kernel, so if your  kernel
is  configured  for use with U-Boot, then it will pick up the correct
MAC address. Maybe it is not?
