How are you creating your boot image. If you are following the u-boot directions then you don't need any board specific support in the kernel. If you are trying to boot zImage, then you have more work to do. > My console does display everything properly running u-boot but once > the > control goes to linux don't see anything on the console. > Did you happen to customize the BAUD rate information for u-boot or Linux? The u-boot default is 115K, Linux default is 9600. Another thing that I have run into is the clock divider configuration by u-boot. Try changing your minicom baud rate up or down by 4X and see if you see anything then. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
