Hi all,

we are porting u-boot/linux to a custom board based on mpc8280. After having made u-boot-1.1.4 work, we tried booting some test-configured linux 2.6.15 kernels.

If we start u-boot using Trace32 (lauterbach) all goes well and linux gets loaded, but if we do the same steps disconnecting Trace32, u-boot seems to work properly, but as soon as the control is transferred to linux all seems to be hanged, and the last words visible on the serial are:

[...] ## Loading RAMDisk Image at 00400000 ... Image Name: Test Ramdisk Image Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 1374924 Bytes = 1.3 MB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ... OK ## initrd at 0x00400040 ... 0x0054FB0B (len=1374924=0x14FACC) Loading Ramdisk to 07e4e000, end 07f9dacc ... OK ## Transferring control to Linux (at address 00000000) ...

We are wondering if this is an issue involving u-boot or if this is related to linux config (in this case sorry for being off-topic).

Thanks for any help!!

Ciao, Alberto
