[U-Boot-Users] C function call in Linux kernel

[Frank Young]

Hi,

This is probably not a typical u-boot question. Forgive me if you think this 
is not a proper place to post. I just want to find someone who happens to 
have the same experience.

I have installed u-boot 1.0.0 on my walnut board with PPC405. But when I 
tried to load the kernel from monta vista (I am using 3.0 pro), the system 
hangs after "# Transferring control to Linux (at address 00000000) ...". The 
console output is attached at the end of this email. I checked the kernel 
and found the kernel was started but it was stopped when the early_init() in 
kernel/head_4xx.S is called. early_init() is a c function. So I guess there 
must be something wrong with the memory configuration thus it affects the 
stack setup. Does anyone have any clue what is happening here?

BTW, since I am using kernel 2.4.18, I don't think I have to set 
clocks_in_mhz. I tried it though, it doesn't work.

Thanks!
