Guys, don't confuse the load address of the pImage with the *download
address*, ie. the one used for tftp. Your setting of 0/0 for the load
address and entry point is correct.

However, from your initial post I gathered that your MV kernel does
not have BSP support for your hardware. It is unlikely that a simple
adaption of the boot info structure will be sufficient. Check out the
relevant files in arch/ppc/{platforms,kernel} as well as the configure
options in arch/ppc/config.in and look for things specific for your
board.

Regards,
Marius
