Hi Everyone,

I have been trying to get the linux-2.6.20-rt3 for arch/powerpc to
boot on my lite5200b. Here are the things that I have tried so far. I
have a custom board based on the lite5200b and then the evaluation
board too.

- I have a working 2.6.16-rt29 kernel compiled using ARCH=ppc for both
these boards.

- I tried the default configs for lite5200 for both the custom board
and the EVB. Both hang at "Transferring control to Linux (at address
00000000) ..."

- I downloaded roberts
http://www.pengutronix.de/oselas/bsp/phytec/index_en.html#phyCORE-MPC5200B-tiny
patches, but still ended up with the same result.

I read ( http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-MPC52xx-support-rework-for-2.6.20-p7568655.html
)  that the arch/powerpc port for lite5200 works right out of the box.
Am I doing something wrong ?

The one thing I am yet to try is to do a git checkout from
git.secretlabs.ca. Unfortunately thanks to some internal firewalling
policies I still have not been able to do that.

Thanks in advance
regards
prady
