booting 2.6 kernel on ML403

Hi Ameet,
   
  As soon as i apply the sysace driver and temac drivers and copy the xparameters_ml300.h (from EDK) to xparameters_ml403.h all i get is this... meaning kernel hangs after displaying "Now booting the kernel".
   
  When i disable sysace and TEMAC drivers, the system goes further till "root=" option and then tries to "Kernel Rebooting in 180 seconds". Yesterday i tried root=/dev/xsysace2 rw and creating block device files in /dev of the CF card. But it ran into the same problem.Is there a sysace driver patch that i can apply without applying the TEMAC driver patch? 
   
  So far i was using the EDK 8.1 SP2 (latest) which has the IP core TEMAC version 3.00. Now i downgraded to EDK 8.1 to get the version 2.00 (please see John Bonesio's post). 
   
  I thought the first step is to get the sysace driver running before applying the TEMAC drivers.

  thanks very much!

  Pradeep,
What you have pasted is only part of the messages displayed. I can't 
tell anything from this apart from you 'root=' option. It would be nice 
if you could paste the entire log of the boot messages right from 
'loaded at: xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx' to 'Kernel Rebooting in 150 seconds'.
