Hi Roberto, The definitely wrong thing I can see in your log is the wrong RAM size. I can't give you more help without knowing what kernel tree you are working with, how you configured the kernel, and how you load the kernel (do you use System ACE, BDI2000; has your board a bootloader like uboot etc.).
To my knowledge, there is no Memec 2VP7 board support in the linuxppc-2.4 and linuxppc-2.5 trees. If you were using ML300 platform as the base for your development, I would expect the console output to look similar to: loaded at: 00400000 004931D0 <snip> avail ram: 00494000 02000000 "loaded at: 00800000" in your log instead of "loaded at: 00400000" could indicate wrong kernel configuration. But, again, the main point is that the last line should look like "avail ram: ???????? 02000000" reflecting that 2VP7 board has 32MB (0x2000000 bytes) of SDRAM.
