Linux on V4FX100

[Koss, Mike (Mission Systems)]

Hopefully beating the bushes in many arenas will help me ellict some
responses.

I have a system on a V4FX100 that is using both PPC405s. Each system is
an exact clone of the other, with some minor variations like how the
other's memory controller is mapped in. (They both can't be mapped to
0x0 :P).

I have a Linux 2.6.22 image (arch/ppc) that I've built that will run on
one and not the other. And by not run, I mean it boots successfully,
gives me a console, I run the applications and then in some point in
time in the near future the system crashes, semi-gracefully. The kernel
crashes and prints out the crash, hence the gracefully part, but its
dead in the water. What can an application that doesn't interface with
any special kernel things do to cause the crash? The applications use
only 'normal' things, no specific drivers (that haven't been completely
tested ;).

If I use a different software load, it runs fine with no problems. In
fact, I currently use it for running and developing other software.

Has anyone seen anything similar when using both PPCs? From what I can
tell it looks like it may be related to timers, but that's only guessing
and inconclusive. I don't have any extra timers (plb/opb/xps_timer)
built into either system.

Thanks,
Mike
