Hi; I use the above software, apply linuxppc-2005-03-06-2006-02-15.patch from http://mpc8260sar.sourceforge.net/, `make PQ2FADS_config`, not using devfs and never manage to boot the kernel:

BTW, which one should be used for serial console in 2.4.x kernel for this PowerQUICC II 8280 platform? ttySx or ttyCPMx? Any insight is appreciated. Regards, TEH
