Hi Sauro, You don't tell us what method and bootloader you use. In case you use uBoot, you should read http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootCmdGroupExec#Section_5.9.4.2. and http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/FlashFilesystemsCRAMFS Actually, I'd suggest reading the whole DULG even if you

Dear Mark, Are you passing a 'console=' option to the kernel, like 'console=ttyCPM0' or 'console=ttyCPM1'. No. I was not passing any option (besides the standard NFSROOT options (root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot= ip=). Actually, the trick suggested by Jean-Fran?ois Simon (disabling the virtual

Dear Wolfgang, We do not support Linux 2.6 kernels for MPC8xx systems yet. For the TQM860L please continue to use ELDK 3.1.1 as shipping with the board. Sorry for the misunderstanding: as the ELDK 4.0 officially supports MPC8xx systems (as said in the README.html file), and as it is shipped

Your flash is seen by the kernel as sequence of partitions, the size and offset of each partition (mtd partition) can be specified in two ways: 1) Tipically your board has a specific file in drivers/mtd/maps/yourboard.c that cares to partition the flash based on a static table that you provide.
