Board Bringup problem with 2.6.13.4

I am working through bringing up Linux 2.6.13.4 on a Xilinx V4 based ppc405.
with memory from 0x0 through 0x7fffffff



Right now I get:

I have been able to trace execution into head_4xx.S  to immediately 
before turn_on_mmu:
But immediately after this I lose the ability to trace.

I have been tracing things with a status port at 0x70000000 I can write 
to and read from the host side with code like

    lis   r14,0x7000      /* debugging port */
    li   r15,0x2305      /* value to output */
    stw   r15,4(r14)  
    eieio
 
after turn_on_mmu executes this does not seem to work.
looking at other code it appeared that I needed to add
tophy(r14,r14) prior to the stw
but that does not seem to help.

What do I need to do to be able to continue to use my debug port ?
