Hi Thoomas,
I see a similar problem when using of-tree. My debugging shows that the of-tree address given to the kernel is outside the memory region that can be accessed by the kernel at start-up (defined by CFG_BOOTMAPSZ), thus the kernel crashes very early without any output. (IMHO this is a bug.) If you are using CONFIG_OF_FLAT_TREE _and_ "disable_of" ist likely that you see the same behaviour, because in that case the "bootm" code still uses the of-tree address (char *of_flat_tree), after copying the standard bd_info data to that address. You could check the pointer that is given to the kernel for the board info data (line 967, parameter 1 of (*kernel) (...)) (or change (*kernel) ((bd_t *)of_flat_tree,... to (*kernel) (kbd,...)
Regards, Torsten
This seems like a bug.
Looking at the code I'm confused how this works at all. I dont see of_flat_tree getting setting to anything at all.
Can you guys try out Grant's patch "[PATCH] Allow CONFIG_OF_FLAT_TREE to boot a non-arch/powerpc kernel" and see if that fixes the issue when building w/CONFIG_OF_FLAT_TREE enabled. His patch should make it so that a bootm w/1 or 2 args that aren't a multiimage should boot arch/ppc style.

Hi,
I'm using a MPC8548CDS eval system with u-boot 1.1.6 running on it. When trying to boot an ELDK 4.0 kernel, the board hangs immediately after decompression of the kernel. I've set the disable_of environment variable to avoid usage of the flat device tree.
The same kernel boots properly when using u-boot 1.1.3 which is delivered with the eval system.
Any hints would be appreciated.
Best regards,
