I am bringing up a custom board using the MPC5200 and based on the Lite5200. We changed from SDR to 128MB of DDR SDRAM and the flash interface is now a 32MB, 32-bit wide bus using 2 Strata flash parts. I have u-boot-1.1.3 up and running just fine. I have three partitions on the flash: 0-uboot, 1-kernel image, 2-jffs file system. The linux kernel (DENX based 2.4.25) starts with all the normal messages plus some that I added for debugging. It should then start running /sbin/init (busybox-1.00, dynamically linked) but instead I get the following Oops:
VFS: Mounted root (jffs filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 60k init init filename=/sbin/init Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 NIP: C0011030 XER: 00000000 LR: C00112AC SP: C03BBEB0 REGS: c03bbe00 TRAP: 0300d MSR: 00001032 EE: 0 PR: 0 FP: 0 ME: 1 IR/DR: 11 DAR: 80820000, DSISR: 20000000 TASK = c03ba000[1] ' nit' Last syscall: 11 last math 00000000 last altivec 00000000 GPR00: 80820000 C03BBEB0 C03BA000 C01780A0 00001032 0000000B C0160BA4 00000000 GPR08: 0000001B 80820000 C0160968 C013D954 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 GPR16: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 C0170000 C0190000 C0160000 C0160000 GPR24: C000E8CC 00000000 00000000 00000000 C03BA000 C016F920 00000000 C03BBEB0 Call backtrace: 00000000 C0005D04 00000000 Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! <0>Rebooting in 180 seconds.. When I change busybox to statically linked I get the following (notice some of my debug messages from within busybox showing up now): VFS: Mounted root (jffs filesystem) readonly.

Any clues to help debug this would be greatly appreciated. I have built several different kernel and busybox images with different debug prints to help figure this out and I am at a loss. Please CC me as I am not on the mailing list OR directly email me and we can post the solution back to the list. Thanks Frank
