Franck,
Try to check that the board info structure exchanged by u-boot and the kernel use the same bd_t definition. Kernel from Montavista for the Walnut board generally use a board info structure definition relative to the IBM bootloader. If it's the case, you need to replace the bd_t structure defined in arch/ppc/platforms/walnut.h by the one found in include/asm-ppc/ppcboot.h
Hope this helps,
Laurent

Hi,
This is probably not a typical u-boot question. Forgive me if you think this is not a proper place to post. I just want to find someone who happens to have the same experience.
I have installed u-boot 1.0.0 on my walnut board with PPC405. But when I tried to load the kernel from monta vista (I am using 3.0 pro), the system
hangs after "# Transferring control to Linux (at address 00000000) ...". The console output is attached at the end of this email. I checked the kernel and found the kernel was started but it was stopped when the early_init() in kernel/head_4xx.S is called. early_init() is a c function. So I guess there must be something wrong with the memory configuration thus it affects the stack setup. Does anyone have any clue what is happening here?
BTW, since I am using kernel 2.4.18, I don't think I have to set clocks_in_mhz. I tried it though, it doesn't work.
Thanks!
