Hi!
I have a modifed MPC8360 platform with a U-boot git-version from October. Now I'm trying to install a Linux kernel and everything looks fine until it starts to execute the kernel in RAM, there is only some bad assembler instructions and then a lot of Invalid Opcode. If I look at the log_buf there is nothing interesting there.
bootm fc010000 - fc008000 ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at fc010000 ... Image Name: Linux-2.6.22 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 773535 Bytes = 755.4 kB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ...

I'm not quite sure if this is a U-boot problem or Linux problem, if not I apologise.
