Instruction Cache Parity Error / 2.6.10 on MPC8540

[Clemens Koller]

Hello, Kumar!

Thank you again for your help...

The inscription of the CPU says:
PPC8540 PX833LB
2L71V MSIA
QEAD0412
(Yes, there is a heatsink on it ;-)

root at PM854:/cdrom/crux/base$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
cpu             : e500
revision        : 2.0 (pvr 8020 0020)
bogomips        : 823.29
Vendor          : Freescale Semiconductor
Machine         : mpc8540ads
clock           : 825MHz
PVR             : 0x80200020
SVR             : 0x80300020
PLL setting     : 0x5
Memory          : 256 MB

I hope that this is current...
Where can I find more information about the SVR?
(I had a look to the Errata Sheets... but there is no
overview of the different silicons.)

Up to now, the Panic didn't appear again - I didn't
change anything yet...
I just try to setup a new system (CRUX) on the attached hdd.

Best greets,

Clemens Koller
