There could be a couple problems here: 1. With the EST8260 configuration, the simple boot loader is used and it receive a bd_info structure describing clocks etc. Is this correct? 2. There was a problem in embed_config.c where the code to initialize the 8260 clocks was not called. Check that this is right. 3. We had an infinite loop problem with a different PPC. I believe it is decompress.c, where all the boot messages are printed from, right after if calls embed_conf() it falls into a loop looking for keyboard input for custom parameters. You can try commenting out this loop. I hope this helps. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
