booting 2.6 kernel on ML403

[Pradeep Sampath]

Hi Ameet,
  Thanks for the instant reply. I changed root parameter to xsa as you suggested root=/dev/xsa2. But i still get the same failure.
   
  [    3.093694] TCP bic registered

  On the CF i created the following block and character device files
  # mknod -m 660 console c 5 1
# mknod -m 660 xsa b 254 0
# mknod -m 660 xsa1 b 254 1
# mknod -m 660 xsa2 b 254 2
# mknod -m 660 xsa3 b 254 3
mkdir tts
# mknod -m 660 0 c 4 64

which patch did you apply? For TEMAC... apply the following patch: 
http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/rtslab/demos/amos/xupv2pro/patches/linuxppc-2.6.17.1-sysace-1.2-after-TEMAC.patch

  Yes, i have applied *only* after-TEMAC.patch. But looks like it blows away the configuration and results in kernel hang.
   
  Any further suggestions on where i should look at.
   
  regards.
  Pradeep
