Oops typo in the original subject line :-) I am trying to bring up Linux (latest linuxppc-2.4 tree) on a custom MPC852 Board. The board has 8MByte SDRAM and 8MByte Flash. I have ported u-boot, modified Linux to add a new board config and added the board specific definitions in arch/ppc/platforms. U-Boot and Linux were built using the ppc_8xx compiler from ELDK 3.0.
When I boot Linux I get the following:- ## Booting image at 00100000 ... Image Name: Linux-2.4.28-pre3-cdd1 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 664920 Bytes = 649.3 kB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ...

As I am new to this I could do with some pointers as to what to do next. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Regards Chris Down
