Hey all (David, John, & Grant)
Thanks for the responses! Using the TCL commands to dump memory values
and a little python script I was able to get a readout of what my kernel
is doing when it hangs:

Things just don't look good here...
John mentioned inconsistencies with my available ram, heres what I found
in my xparameters_ml405.h file -
From my xparameters_ml405.h file:
/* Definitions for driver MPMC */
#define XPAR_XMPMC_NUM_INSTANCES 1
/* Definitions for peripheral DDR_SDRAM */
#define XPAR_DDR_SDRAM_DEVICE_ID 0
#define XPAR_DDR_SDRAM_MPMC_CTRL_BASEADDR 0xFFFFFFFF
#define XPAR_DDR_SDRAM_INCLUDE_ECC_SUPPORT 0
/******************************************************************/
/* Definitions for peripheral DDR_SDRAM */
#define XPAR_DDR_SDRAM_MPMC_BASEADDR 0x00000000
#define XPAR_DDR_SDRAM_MPMC_HIGHADDR 0x07FFFFFF
#define XPAR_DDR_SDRAM_SDMA_CTRL_BASEADDR 0x84600000
#define XPAR_DDR_SDRAM_SDMA_CTRL_HIGHADDR 0x8460FFFF
Unfortunately I'll have to wait till tomorrow to really dig into my
memory stuff, I figured I'd include it in case anyone has good info to
help me avoid walking down the wrong direction here.
I'm very grateful for your responses as they were tremendously helpful.
Thank you. And as before, any info or tips you guys have is always
appreciated.
thanks,
Lorenzo
