Thank you for your reply Mr. Likely!

I was indeed using the wrong image file. So I've tried the uImage generated by the kernel build, and it still hangs. It might be the addresses I'm using. I've read some FAQs sections that seemed to give me some hope, but they all were related to wrong RAM addresses or not related to device trees at all, just to the old cuImage booting procedures.

Anyway, thanks for your interest, Mr. Likely.

Hello, all.

My goal is to succesfully pass a 2.6.26 linux kernel to the

using the three-argument command bootm.

I've built the image using the make ARCH=powerpc zImage command. It creates the cuImage.lite5200b along with the lite5200.dts (which

I've

compiled to a lite5200.dtb using the above mentioned dtc).

If you want to use the 3 argument bootm (kerneladdr, rootfsaddr, dtbaddr) then you need to use the uImage produced by the kernel build, *not* the cuImage. The cuImage is a backwards compatible image for the older 2 argument bootm command.
