Hi,
I'm porting u-boot on my PPC405EP board. I started from bubinga405ep board,
and I have sucessfully loaded a linux kernel and made it run well. Now I
try to create another folder for my own board in ../board folder and named
it as sgw405ep, I modified makefile and some other places which related to
bubinga45ep. The new u-boot can start up and can also download linux kernel
(same kernel) via tftp. but when I try to make the kernel run by typing
bootm, I get the following message:
=> bootm

and then, the processor seems halt.
I compared the data in sdram from 0x00000000 to 0x00020000 after the kernel
was uncompressed into SDRAM for the two u-boot, I found the some data are
not same in section 0x00000000 to 0x00002000.
Two u-boot all reports that Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK, but why the
data not same?
Who can tell me What's possible problems?
Thanks very much!
