Linux 2.6 boot failure on xup virtex II ppc405

Saadia,

I'm guessing that the kernel does not have the right clock information
in your device tree.  The quick fix is to fix the clock-frequency
attribute on the uart.  The kernel needs this in order to set the
register values in the uart correctly.

This information would be populated automatically, if you used a
somewhat recent version of EDK ( >= 10.1 ) and add a CLOCK_FREQUENCY
attribute on the external clock pin in the mhs file.

I'm actually somewhat surprised you see any output on the serial port at
all.

Steve
