Arrrrggghhhh!!! Why do you write "EST sbc8260" in the subject, then?

This ancient ramdisk image is NOT suitable to a MPC82xx processor.  I
have  removed  it  from our FTP server some time ago, and I recommend
everybody to rm it, too.

Please use a SELF image from the
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/SELF/images/ directory
instead.

It would have been extremely useful if you had actually shown HOW you
do this, and the relevanlt lines for the kernel boot log. Instead you
just send a useless snippet.

...which is more or less useless without the first part  which  shows
which boot arguments you actually passed to the kernel.

Try disabling devfs in your kernel configuration.
