I am new to Linux and am in the process of trying to get a kernel booted on a PPC board. What assumptions/requirements (if any) does the kernel have about any system state/setup prior to the execution of the kernel entry point?
Is it simply that the kernel is loaded and memory is accessible? MMU on/off? Do any other peripherals (e.g 10ms timer) need to be initialized? Thanks, Stuart Yoder ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
