Kim, Are you trying to boot your board with a BDM plugged in? If so, Dan made us aware that BDM's will fight with the kernel and will get confused about the VM. If this is your situation, you will need to program your flash with the kernel and boot it without a BDM connected.
Hope that helped, Jason -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-linuxppc-embedded at lists.linuxppc.org]On Behalf Of Kim J?rgensen Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2000 7:52 AM To: 'linuxppc-embedded at lists.linuxppc.org' Subject: No bash prompt Hi. A got a similar problem as described by LiuTao, my custom MPC823 board won't display the bash prompt at start up. Is there anybody who got a solution to this problem? I tried like LiuTao to define "SERIAL_DEBUG_INTR" in uart.c, and I got the same result: Lots of "THRE...rs_interrupt_single(0, 2)...end." on the console. I have successfully used the ramdisk image on a RPXL board, so that should be ok. Here are the console messages: loaded at: 00200000 0020B1F0 relocated to: 00100000 0010B1F0 board data at: 001001C4 001001E0 relocated to: 00200100 0020011C zimage at: 00206000 002383D8 initrd at: 002383D8 002B2E77 avail ram: 002B3000 00800000 Linux/PPC load: Uncompressing Linux...done.
