No bash prompt

[Wohlgemuth, Jason]

Kim,

Are you trying to boot your board with a BDM plugged in?  If so, Dan made us
aware that BDM's will fight with the kernel and will get confused about the
VM.  If this is your situation, you will need to program your flash with the
kernel and boot it without a BDM connected.

Hope that helped,
Jason

Subject: No bash prompt



Hi.

A got a similar problem as described by LiuTao, my custom MPC823 board won't
display the bash prompt at start up. Is there anybody who got a solution to
this problem?

I tried like LiuTao to define "SERIAL_DEBUG_INTR" in uart.c, and I got the
same result: Lots of "THRE...rs_interrupt_single(0, 2)...end." on the
console.
I have successfully used the ramdisk image on a RPXL board, so that should
be ok.

Here are the console messages:

Hope someone can help.
