Hi Scott,

I managed to proceed a little bit further.
    Memory <- <0x0 0x8000000> (128MB)
    ENET0: local-mac-address <- 00:09:9b:01:58:64
    CPU clock-frequency <- 0x7270e00 (120MHz)
    CPU timebase-frequency <- 0x393870 (4MHz)
    CPU bus-frequency <- 0x3938700 (60MHz)

    zImage starting: loaded at 0x00400000 (sp: 0x07d1ccd0)
    Allocating 0x186bdd bytes for kernel ...
    gunzipping (0x00000000 <- 0x0040c000:0x00591c30)...done 0x173b18 bytes

    Linux/PowerPC load: root=/dev/ram
    Finalizing device tree... flat tree at 0x59e300

The gdb showed deadbeef.
    (gdb) target remote ppcbdi:2001
    Remote debugging using ppcbdi:2001
    0xdeadbeef in ?? ()
    (gdb)

The kernel doesn't seem to start. What could go wrong here?

Thanks a lot,
