Regarding my hanging problem -- this was board specific. My board has
a watchdog timer, which was enabled. After disabling this via the
"SYPCR" config parameter it just worked. Great. Good feeling.
It even netboots. Great.
For what it's worth I'm running kernel 2.4.18 patched with
ppc-patch-2.4.18.gz from kernel.org . For the toolchain I'm using the
ELDK. No other patches.
Now the real big fun begins.
Cheers,
Curt
