Memec v4fx12lc - problem booting linux on ppc

[Yoshio Kashiwagi]

Olivier San,

The address of each device driver of LSP of MontaVista Linux and the
address of each IP of the generated circuit match?

Although your detailed environment is not known, the general way of
investigating is as follows.

Check where the processor was stopped by the stop command and the
processor has stopped after runing from xmd.
If compared with stopped address and the address of System.map or
disassembling list of vmlinux, it should be able to be decided by
which processing it has hangs.
Disassembling of vmlinux can be displayed by powerpc-linux-objdump -D 
vmlinux.
