Run Linux Kernel 2.6.26 with u-boot 1.1.2 - problem

Hi all,

I have a PowerPC embedded board with CPU 7448 and Chipset Marvell 64560.
Till now, on board runs U-boot 1.1.2 and Linux kernel 2.6.12, with patches 
from Marvell.

I ported the Marvell patch to Linux 2.6.26, but I can't start it. Now I'm 
searching for the problem. Is this possible with old u-boot (1.1.2) to start 
new versions of Linux kernel, or I need to port u-boot too?

Best regards,
Zhivko Yordanov

Have you wrote the dts file? I suggest you to change Uboot, 1.1.2 is pretty old and if I remember correctly it doesn't support the dts, so you should build a cuImage with the dts embedded in the kernel.
