2.6.24 is actually very old and not even close to latest. "Latest" is (as I'm typing this) v2.6.30-rc4. > I use the device tree file (mpc8272ads.dts) provided.

I just tried this (using both the kernel.org tree, and our linux-2.6-denx repository), with the same results (i. e. zero build problems): $ export CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_6xx- $ export ARCH=powerpc $ make CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_6xx- ARCH=powerpc mpc8272_ads_defconfig $ make -j6 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_6xx- ARCH=powerpc uImage $ make mpc8272ads.dtb Then use the images in "arch/powerpc/boot/uImage" and "arch/powerpc/boot/mpc8272ads.dtb", resp. [Sorry, I cannot test this myself as we don't have a mpc8272_ads board in our lab.] > I tried booting both using a cuImage (cuImage.mpc8272ads) and a > uImage with a device tree blob.

Maybe you did not pass the right "console=" boot argument? Keep in ind that the serial ports are named "ttyCPM*" now, not "ttyS*" as it used to be with very old kernel versions.
