[James Don]

Do you have ppcboot ... or an equivalent bootloader running yet ?

If not start with this ...

I'm sorry for sounding a bit negative and not giving any real help,
but I can't resist commenting that being able to run vxWorks is NOT
proving the same HW can also run Linux. This is because Linux is using
the HW in ways WindRiver can only dream vxWorks could. We have seen
many HW going down on it's knees in the transition from a boot-loader/
interrupt handler kind of OS to real Unix systems with true virtual
memory support.
