Hi,
I am a embedded linux newbie and I am using ppcboot to load my kernel.
I use `mkimage` of ramdisk supplied in SELF.
I made a linux kernel for ppc with bare minimum options, no loadable
modules.
The steps I followed.

From this point onwards there is no messages. and no cpu activity.
I have absolutely no idea of what is happening.
Any clue?
