uboot sets up the trap handler (function trap_init called from lib_ppc/board.c). As soon this is called the processor seems to be getting an machine check exception/trap. (Refer to the logs below)
This also apparently causes processor to freeze, such that I am not able to read any CPU registers using JTAG etc
If we do not make calls to trap_init uboot cont. to work properly, but without fixing this issue we can not move ahead, as we need interrupt handling to work for the next stage.
I understand that may be this exception already accrued @ some point before trap_init call was done, but I am looking for ideas on how to debug it...
