I am trying to boot Linux 2.4.25 (code from denx linux-2-4-devel) The board is similar to MPC8260ADS What happens is that the kernel is starting but after a short while gets an exception and the board is reset again. We tried looking at the kernel sources to see where we get, we did this by lighting hardware LEDS we have on the board. We tried to find where in the kernel we get the exception, we could not find exactly where it happens, but we did find that it happens somewhere in the function prom_init called from early_init inside arch/ppc/kernel/setup.c
Does anyone have any idea what we should look next?
