I sent a message earlier today about getting a "swap_dup: Bad swap file entry 0e18d55c" error. I found the problem and fixed it and wanted to share it with people who are still learning this stuff, like myself.
After 2 days of pounding on my head I found the file Documentation/powerpc/cpu_features.txt It explained how the file arch/ppc/kernel/cputable.c has a list of the known powerPC PVRs(processor version register). The 8248 was not in there so it was using a default entry. That was the cause of my problems. I added a new entry for the 8248 and all is working. My lesson was a little research makes things much nicer. Lesson learned. Steve Blakeslee ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
