I've got a custom 852T board, similar to an AdderII. I've got the board booting linux fine using NFS. Now I'm trying to get it to work stand-alone, and I can't get it to boot from a RAM disk. I'm using the 2.4.25 kernel from Denx, and the Ramdisk image from the ELDK (ppc_8xx/images/ramdisk.image.gz).
Below is the output I'm getting. The "MAJ" tags indicate printk's that were inserted by me. If anyone has a clue to what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it.
