Booting linux kernel.

Hello,

I have a custom 860T based board for which I have ppcboot 0.7,  register
values for BRx and ORx are at the end of the e-mail.

I have built montavista 2.4-test2 kernel and ramdisk that I downloaded from
Wolfgan Denk's ftp site, a loaded them using tftp at 0x00100000 and 0x00190000.


CXE-BOOTROM=>bootm 00100000 00190000

   Loading Ramdisk to 03ec3000, end 03f3eeee ... OK
## Transferring control to Linux (at address 00000000) ...
My board's config file used when building ppcboot has following SMC and FEC
configuration.

#define CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1    1 /* Console is on SMC1     */
#undef  CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2
#undef  CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
#define CONFIG_BAUDRATE     9600
#define CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO   1   /* echo on for serial download  */

/* choose SCC1 ethernet (10BASET on motherboard)
 * or FEC ethernet (10/100 on daughterboard)
 */
#undef  CONFIG_SCC1_ENET    0   /* use SCC1 ethernet */
#define CONFIG_FEC_ENET     1   /* disable FEC ethernet  */
#define CFG_DISCOVER_PHY


When I boot the kernel don't see anything on the console, I have the
boardinfo structure below.

I guess simple question is how do I go about debugging this problem?

My System.map has log_buf address as 0xc010f314 and memory dump at
0x0010f314 is shown below.

System.map dump -->
	c010eb14 b buf.498
	c010ef14 b buf
	c010f314 b log_buf

Only tools I have is ppc_8xx-gdb and the Macraigor wiggler to which I
can connect using rproxy. Is there a better tool that I should acquire
that will help me in debugging this?

Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks.
