Linux booting problem on powerpc 440

[Sumesh Kaana]

Hi all,
I am trying to boot linux kernel (2.6.30) on a custom built board.I am using simple ppc platform and attached are my dts file and boot log..
I've 16Mb of RAM,UART and UIC with powerpc 440x5 processor.Kernel Image size is less than 1 mb.
i am not using any bootloaders such as U-boot
i have a small program on reset vector which will copy linux bin image from flash to 4mb (Link Address as per wrapper script), after that execution starts from link address.
the problem that i face is kernel crashes in different places while booting for different linux images, but always mentioned that 
TASK = 'swapper'

Can anyone tell what would be the problem..?

Thanks,
Sumesh.
