Problem debugging ppc kernel with DDD/GDB/BDI2000 on a custom MPC8260 board

Dear Joao,

Just to be sure: did you add "-g" to  your  CFLAGS_KERNEL  definition
(in the toplevel Makefile) ?

Don't use TQM8260_config unless you either have a  TQM8260  board  or
you know _exactly_ what you're doing.

Which means your kernel will  not  work  unless  you  really  have  a
TQM8260 board.

This looks ok to me.

Did you try out nocatch as recommended earlier?
