Hi all.

I try to port Linux 2.6 on my XUPV2P Board which is based on ML300.

It runs sometimes, but for the usual case it just doesn't.
My problem is the initialization.
I have no clue why I get different values almost every time.
This is a log from the same zImage.elf, which is just loaded certain 
times in the row:

and just if the "avial ram" is about 10000000 it boots.

Anyone some idea why it could happens?
