About bad pte error

[Wentao Xu]

I am trying to port linux for IBM405GP to my board(
IBM PPC401, 24M memory, no
PCI), I map the kernel to 0xB0000000, and it seems ok
until a bad pte error
occurs during starting the
shell(execve("/sbin/sash",..))from ramdisk. After
that,sometime CPU entered machine check exception,
sometime print a long train
of messages. And the value following "bad pte" varies
from 0x2xxxxxxx to 0xf3xxxxxxx.
I dont know what causes bad pte error. Which friends
can tell me ? Thanks.
