Hi,
I am having some problem booting linux on Powerpc 405 (xilinx virtex4).
I have the following output on the terminal:
******************************************************
zImage starting: loaded at 0x00400000 (sp: 0x0070feb0)
Allocating 0x38a79c bytes for kernel ...
gunzipping (0x00000000 <- 0x0040d000:0x0059ee42)...done 0x367f58 bytes
Attached initrd image at 0x0059f000-0x0070ef20
initrd head: 0x1f8b0808
Linux/PowerPC load: console=ttyUL0 root=/dev/ram
Finalizing device tree... flat tree at 0x71c300
*******************************************************
The strange thing is that when I check the value of pc register, it does
not return values of the virtual memory but values like:
pc :0x0000ebd4
pc :0x00002148
pc :0x00002194
pc :0x00002150 ...
Instead of values like 0xcXXXXXXX
It looks like there is a problem with the MMU or something like that ?
I have seen similar problems on the xilinx forum but it did not helped
me so much:
