[U-Boot] m68k _int_handler help

Hi all,

i successfully ported u-boot on a custom board, that use mcf5307, and i 
would like to share my job in the next days.

I still have a strange issue anyway, maybe some u-boot / m68k expert can 
help me:
After relocation into SDRAM, timer_init (from board.c) is called, timer 
2 is initialized, and just after the first interrupt (31) is triggered. 
Once the handler terminate, the assembly "rte" make the u-boot to crash,
with exception (VEC 3, FMT 4, FAULT 4).


I verified the following:
1) after relocation in SDRAM the stack is set up properly, in the area 
just below the monitor code.
2) after relocation, the stack seems to be working properly, since many 
functions are called from ram before the timer_init().
3) i disabled all inside _int_handler, leaving it as (start.S)

_int_handler:
         rte

I can stop the program here before rte with a loop, so program until 
here works. But just after, rte generate the exception 3.

This is really a misterious issue. I don't see any reason why the stack 
frame should be wrong. Could it be compiler-related ?

Reagrds,
angelo
