Linux crash when big application executing on PPC405GP board

[Jikun Sun]

Hi,

Board: CSB272 IBM PPC405GP
Linux kernel version: 2.4.17
Linux kernel can boot nfs root filesystem on the board. Shell works
correctly.
However the system will oops when execute big applications, such as
copying a file which is larger than 2MBytes.
The following is ksymoops:

The size of vmlinux.srec is 2.076Mbytes.
root at 192.9.200.145:/# cp vmlinux.srec  vmlinux.srec.bak

Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11
