Hi,

I had successfully ported u-boot-1.1.1 for MPC8260 based custom SBC. Every thing is fine. I want to thank Mr. Wolfgang Denk and all the people who contributed to u-boot.

My interested is to boot Linux on this board. I downloaded linux-2.6.6. I followed EST8260 board in the kernel and made changes accordingly for my board.

I did not add board define in "arch/ppc/boot/simple/embed_config.c" because u-boot-1.1.1 passes clock speed in Hz and so as the kernel versions from 2.4.5 (DULG FAQ) accepts in Hz.

After successful compilation. I tried to boot the kernel. Here I am encountering problem with serial console.

We are using serial port on SMC

u-boot baud rate is set at 115200. I am using hyper terminal for serial console.

Before booting the kernel, my display is ok. I can interact with the console normally After uncompressing the image and before loading the Linux. Many characters are skipped, And display can not be interpreted.

I tried to change the baud rate using "setenv baud rate 9600". But u-boot in hanging.

I am pasting the text capture for your reference.

kindly help in overcoming this Issue. Does reducing baud rate helps?
