Linux boot fails after MMU (MPC8260)

[Christian.Peter at ascom.ch]

Hi

I try to boot linux 2.4.0test8 on a custom 8260 board. It fails to start the kernel (no output) and
i think it hangs somewhere after the mmu initialization (ppc/kernel/head.S).
My knowledge of the mmu and the 8260 is not very good, therefore i'm not sure!
A prior co-worker (unfortunately not in the company anymore) had successfully started the kernel
on a SBC8260 board with a vxworks bootloader and some patches for the mbxboot.
I have near the same configuration, some difference in the vxworks bootloader (chip-select, IMMR 0x0f00000), but
i set this new in mbxboot/head_8260.S to the following values.

Memory Map
----------
0x00000000     60x SDRAM
0x20000008     some LEDs
0xFE000000     Flash
IMMR           0xF0000000

Currently i'm debugging with 2 LEDs on the board and i can switch the LED's on and off until
the RFI. After RFI the code should jump to start_here, but it never gets there.

  ppc/kernel/head.S

  mfmsr r0
  ori r0,r0,MSR_DR|MSR_IR
  mtspr SRR1,r0
  lis r0,start_here at h
  ori r0,r0,start_here at l
  mtspr SRR0,r0
  SYNC
  RFI                       /* enables MMU */

This is a extract of the terminal output.

  TFTP_CLIENT...

Is this a configuration problem (memory map)? Any ideas or suggestions?

Many thanks in advance.
