Hi All,

I am trying to boot a Montavista edition 2.6.18 on a PPC405GP for a
custom board- very close to the Walnut board.
I seem to be hanging at the early stage, and nothing is printed on to
the console. Has anyone dealt with this issue?

I am following the device tree approach - arch/powerpc

=> tftp 0x800000 /tftpboot/kernel_5_2
ENET Speed is 100 Mbps - FULL duplex connection
TFTP from server 172.22.101.2; our IP address is 172.22.101.177
Filename '/tftpboot/kernel_5_2'.

One thing, my console is on UART1 and I am compiling this information
in the .config for the kernel
CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyS1,9600 root=/dev/mtdblock7 ro init=/sbin/try_init"

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Sreen
