I have a custom MPC8247 based board which has been running U-boot 1.3.5
and Linux 2.6.26.  It has been working fine with ARCH=ppc, but I now want
to make it work using ARCH=powerpc.

However, using ARCH=powerpc I have encountered a problem.  Whatever I do
it always appears to reset in the very early stages of booting the kernel.

could this be the hardware watchdog resetting the CPU ? Do you disable
it in u-boot ?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've just double-checked and the watchdog is disabled in U-boot. In any case, I have been using an infinite loop flashing an LED to trace where execution gets to, and it never resets once it has started doing that.

Any other ideas?

Cheers,

Chris.
