Hi,
Hope you all had a great Xmas and New Years! :)
I managed to get linux to visibly start executing through smc1 - it turns out that I had chosen the standard generic serial support option, when it was in fact, non-standard... oops!
A new year, new problem... i'm afraid :( Here's a short listing of what I see at bootup :
----------------------------------------------------- ## Booting image at 01000000 ... Image Name: Linux-2.4.19-pre7 Created: 2003-01-07 1:50:16 UTC Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 595622 Bytes = 581.7 kB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ...

At this point, linux hangs. Now, I'm not too familiar with what is supposed to happen next - but according to the output that i had on the fads860 board (i'm currenlty working on a custom design, mpc860T board), I am supposed to get something like:
----------------------------------------------------- Tue Jan 7 11:23:43 2003 VFS: busy inodes on changed media. mount: Mounting /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 on /mnt/idedisk failed: No such file or directory Caught SIGHUP

root:/# -----------------------------------------------------
I can ping and telnet my target (sometimes) and i can get something like the above - however, i have to login and exit telnet to type anything at the prompt.
Now, each time I do a "date" , I get the exact same response - i.e., my RTC seems to have halted. I don't get it... I can do "date" in PPCBoot and my seconds change. I put in some register dumps and I get:
TBSCR: 0x00000103 RTCSC: 0x00000013 RTC: 0x5fffc058 PISCR: 0x00000004 SCCR: 0x03800000
how do i get my clock to tick??
Thanks in advance, My Hong Vuong
