Re: AMCC ppc440spe 2.6.23.10 kernel boot help

Dear "Shubhada Pugaonkar",

2.6.23.10 is very old. Please use current code. 2.6.23 was long before
the switch to arch/powerpc, so all the efforts you are spnding now on
this old stuff are really wasted.

Use at least 2.6.28 or later.

Why don't you start with a good, known to work kernel config file
like 44x/katmai_defconfig ?

For example, you mention a 440SPe processor above, but your config
file seems to be derived from a Luan board, which is 440SP (not SPe)
so there is not much surprise if it doesn't work.

CROSS_COMPILE=ppc-linux- (also tried ppc_4xx-) and did 'make uImage',
but unable to boot into the kernel. My nfs and uboot settings seem to be
correct. The kernel gets stuck as shown below. Any help appreciated.
Please let me know if any more information is required.

In the first place, please use current code.

Second - which exact board is this? Katmai?

=> run flash_nfs

What exactly are your environment settings? Which exact value of
"bootargs" do you pass to Linux? Does it include a valid console=
argument?


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
