Dear Pieter,

In message [ref] you wrote:
Im using a ppc85xx processor with Denx ELDK (4.1) The board  has 512MB
DDR2 and the board config reserves 64M for pram. during bootup the
mem=$mem argument is passed to the linux kernel command line and linux
boots successfully.
So what are the exact boot messages of your kernel?
I am unable to mount the PRAMFS - all documentation leads me to use

mount -t pramfs -o physaddr=0x1c000000,init=0x4000000 none /mnt
-------------------------------------------------------------^^^^
witch fails with the message:
mounting none on /mtd failed: no such devise 
-------------------^^^^

/mnt != /mtd

There is something worng, probably your description. It would be
better if you showed the precise commands and outpout from your
target system.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
