If you're using rev.B1 silicon (mask M08A), you'll
need
to set the as of yet undocumented TXW_MASK bit (13
in
PPC bit ordering) in the Rx FIFO control register (MBAR + 0x318c). Thus, set &fec->rfifo_cntrl to 0x0f040000 in mpc5xxx_fec_setup().
yes David i am using rev.B1 and I tried setting the TXW_MASK bit but nothing changed ...
If you're still having problems with Ethernet, I
would
suggest debugging it with a root file system on something other than NFS.E.g. ramdisk, MTD or ATA.
I tried also ur second suggestion trying to boot through ramdisk, with rootfilesystem in ramdisk.image.gz and building kernel in pImage both in Compact Flash. It is working fine ( I have no idea of the configuration and what args are passed by U_BOOt to kernel) .. does this mean that there is problem with root filesystem on my remote computer or does this mean there could be a problem connecting to the remote computer (Probably problem with BESTCOM as pointed by Wolfgang Denk) ????? I want to have the root filesystem on the remote computer instead on ramdisk because i need to add applications into the root filesystem in runtime. ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
