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

[Laurent Mohin]

Franck,

Try to check that the board info structure exchanged by u-boot and the 
kernel use the same bd_t definition.
Kernel from Montavista for the Walnut board generally use a board info 
structure definition relative to the IBM bootloader.
If it's the case, you need to replace the bd_t structure defined in 
arch/ppc/platforms/walnut.h by the one found in include/asm-ppc/ppcboot.h

Hope this helps,

Laurent

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!
