Hello all I am trying install linux on a custom powerpc embedded platform (MPC823). My kernel sources are from ftp.denx.de and I use ppcboot-1.1.2. I am able to install and boot a little bit older kernel (2.4.4-2001-05-12 also from denx.de) but I'm having problems with the newest sources (2.4.4-2002-03-21), which i like to install on my target. I connect my target to my PC through an ethernet and a serial port and mount a NFS root file system. Here is where the probem arises with the newer kernel. When i boot (with bootm command in ppcboot), the output on my screen is all garbled where everything was ok before. The kernel is still active on the target but does not respond throgh the serial port anymore. (I use minicom to connect and boot parameters are set to 9600 baud in ppcboot). Any ideas?? Does the newer kernel overide the baud settings somehow? Is it necessary to upgrade to ppcboot-1.1.5 for the newer kernel to boot??
