Problem with cuImage Linux entry from old U-boot

[Stephen Horton]

Hello folks,

 

As I have posted recently before, in a current work project, I have
inherited a compactPCI board that has an mpc7447/7448 powerpc processor
as well as a Marvell system controller, model mv64462 (stripped down
mv64460). The board has a somewhat working Gentoo Linux port running on
it from long ago and a company far far away (kernel version 2.6.9 built
using arch/ppc). To prepare for an upcoming deployment, I would like to
bring the OS up-to-date on this board with a newer kernel (targeting
2.6.24r3).

 

I have made great strides with help from this mailing list and its
archives. I now have a compiled cuImage ready to boot from my older
working u-boot 1.1.2. I now seem to be stuck at the kernel entry point.
I'm not sure if I'm trying to jump into the kernel at the wrong address,
or if I have a serial console issue that prevents me from seeing anymore
progress. Here is my output:

If I run 'nm' on my elf image, I expect to find some entry point address
that corresponds to 0x7423a0, but this is not the case. See nm output
below.  Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
