I check the structure before I posted this question. I also tried to include u-boot.h. But still no luck. The kernel is always stuck at the first C function call.

Actually before the early_init in head_4xx.S is called, the board_info structure is not used, so changing the stucture doesn't seem to be able to solve the problem. Did I miss anything?

Try to check that the board info structure exchanged by u-boot and the kernel use the same bd_t definition. Kernel from Montavista for the Walnut board generally use a board info structure definition relative to the IBM bootloader. If it's the case, you need to replace the bd_t structure defined in arch/ppc/platforms/walnut.h by the one found in

include/asm-ppc/ppcboot.h

Don't replace it - just remove it / comment it out and include <asm/ppcboot.h>
