First I generated a kernel for the IBM booter using the make and tftp-loaded zImage.ebony. Everything works fine. Then switched to the u-boot flash (using U46 SW1). Then I generated the linux kernel using "make uImage", using "tftpbootm 0x500000 /somewhere/uImage ; bootm 0x50000". (IBM booter used same 0x500000 address).
Did you modify your kernel to work with U-Boot (i. e. did you include ppcboot.h in your board header file) ?
I did notice that the kernel doesn't automatically load the u-boot MAC address correctly (kernel originally showed MAC is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff on
This probably means that your kernel does not pick up the arguments passed by U-Boot. This is a FAQ (see http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/LinuxHangsAfterUncompressingKernel)
Anyone have any solutions for this?!?
RTFM ?
