Currently I working on custom MPC8245 board which was designed on our company. Unlike the Sandpoint and MPC8245 unity board, our custom board only use internal DUART, SDRAM, PCI, Intel flash memory. I ported linux kernel based on src-linuxppc_2_4_devel kernel source. As you can see in below, boot process seems to be okay except root filesystem mount part. In messages, kernel says CRC error was detected but the root filesystem ifself is correctly gzip. On many tests, sometimes there was no crc error but still occurs segmentation faults or illegal instruction error. Sometime I can see the crc error when decompressing root filesystem image. Sometime all boot-up process ok but after running shell, system hang up. I cannot indentify what the problem is.
