But let me ask u some of the questions. 1. One possiblity is that ur serial port is not configured properly & u are not seeing any message from the console port. 2. IF u are having the JTAG debugger find out the value in Program conuter & see where it matches in System.map. So tell me the PC value then it might be possible to catch the problem Thanx Bhupi Linux+Hypertransport -->Silicon www.gdatech.com Good after beer ---Linux --- Anil Giri <anil at india.tejasnetworks.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > > I m trying to boot kernel for linux-2.4.18 > (MPC860 processor), but it > > > hangs after "Now booting the kernel" message.
