Aaah - looks like that was it. Works OK now with CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION un-set.
For the record - cpu node looks as follows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] {
device_type = "cpu";
model = "PowerPC,440EPx";
reg = ;
clock-frequency = ; /* Filled in by u-boot */
timebase-frequency = ; /* Filled in by u-boot */
i-cache-line-size = ;
d-cache-line-size = ;
i-cache-size = ;
d-cache-size = ;
dcr-controller;
dcr-access-method = "native";
};
Thanks for the help.
