Hi

I'm having problems setting up the ethernet on a custom board with an AMCC PPC405EP. Whenever I run a command which uses the ethernet, I get a similar behaviour: First U-Boot displays 66 times the following message:

miiphy_register: non unique device name 'ppc_4xx_eth0' ENET Speed is 100 Mbps - FULL duplex connection

Then it starts printing the following in an endless loop:

ppc_4xx_eth_initialize: Cannot allocate private hw data for eth_device 0

The ethernet part in the configuration file reads as follows:

#define CONFIG_MII // Enable MII PHY management #define CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 0x0C // Front eth phy (addr via pin strapping) #define CONFIG_IPADDR 192.168.248.103 // Default IP address (test only) #define CONFIG_SERVERIP 192.168.248.111 // tftpboot from stein #define CONFIG_ETHADDR 00:40:63:DC:B6:93 // MAC address

Has anyone an idea where the error could lie? Could anybody give me a hint, where to continue debugging?

Thank you very much in advance, Reto Stalder
