Hi all,

please excuse a probably really dumb question about compiling a new kernel for a Freescale 5200B using the ELDK 4.2...

I am playing with a Lite5200B eval board. The software coming from Freescale, including an older kernel (2.6.16.11-rt18), works fine.

I installed ELDK 4.2 on a FC box, and first compiled u-boot 1.3.4. Wrote it to flash, and it works nicely afaict.

Then I compiled the 2.6.24.2 kernel coming with the ELDK, using the commands "make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_6xx- lite5200_defconfig ; make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_6xx- uImage". The kernel loads, decompresses, but then there is no output any more after "Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK". The u-boot environment contains (quoted from printenv) "bootargs=console=ttyPSC0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock0 rw rootfstype=jffs2 verbose" (and, again, the Freescale kernel is not silent).

I found a message which stated that I should include

<snip>
        chosen {
                linux,stdout-path = "/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
        };
</snip>

in the file arch/powerpc/boot/dts/lite5200.dts. Recompiled, but without success. I believe it's a minor tweak I need to add, but I don't have a clue what. Unfortunately neither the wiki nor Google gave answers. Can anyone enlighten me??

Thanks,
Albrecht.
