The images on the CD-ROM are for the older TQmon firmware. They will not work with PPCBoot. For PPCboot you have to recompile the kernel and create PPCBoot images using the mkimage tool. For detailed instructions please see the README in the PPCBoot directory. > using ppcboot for the MPC823. The present kernel lives at 0x40020000 > (and boots fine). Can I load another kernel somewhere else in flash and Yes, sure you can. The pre-installed kernel is just about 320 KB if it's a 2.2.x version, or about 420 kB if it's a 2.4.x. It's probably a good idea to play for safety first, so I think 40100000 is a good address for the next kernel image. > boot from it? I've tried loading images at 0x40200000, but I get a "Bad > Magic Number" error when booting. That means that it's not a PPCBoot image. Please contact me directly if you need pre-build PPCboot images.
