Re: 8272ADS and Linux 2.6.12

It would also be beneficial if you turned on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. You will get lots more messages early in the boot.

quoted

=> setenv bootargs console=ttyCPM0,115200  root=/dev/ram
=> bootm fe600000
## Booting image at fe600000 ...
   Image Name:   2.6.12 for 8272
   Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
   Data Size:    875845 Bytes = 855.3 kB
   Load Address: 00000000
   Entry Point:  00000000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK

Can you provide your kernel configuration information regarding the serial ports. Which serial port is your console port? Check the following configuration options:
  CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE
  CONFIG_SCC_CONSOLE
  CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE
  CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE

Another observation is that you are trying to boot with a RAM disk but you have not provided the RAM disk address to the bootm command. This is not your current problem since you don't get that far.
