ELDK on MPC8260ADS board, Machine check in kernel

[James Bates]

Hi all,

I am trying to get linux running on my standard MPC8260ADS board but I have
hit a dead end.
I am getting a "Machine check in kernel mode." error about the time that
ramdisks are setup.
I am using the linuxppc_2_4_devel eldk which I checked out this week and
u-boot 0.4.0. I have added the boot output at the end of this message for
those that are interested. I have also attempted to make some sense of the
backtrace from the System.map

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

James Bates
