Hi Simon,

I am testing your patches (V9) - the kernel image is not corrupted
anynmore due to the ECC, but I am not able to boot successfully the
kernel. I am testing now with a second hardware (twister, I have
recently posted the patches for this board, also OMAP3) to have a
comparison with the beagleboard.

The kernel starts but it stops very soon, I think after the machine-id
check and it seems it cannot poarse correctly the tags. However, the
parameters exported by "spl export" are correct and I have not found any
difference with the "bootm" command under U-boot.

I am starting to debug the kernel to get some more infos, but do you
have some hints ? How do you test it ?

Best regards,
Stefano Babic
