The console is on SMC2 and is set for 9600 baud. I have built the kernel using ELDK 2.0.2. make mrproper, make xconfig, make dep, and followed by make pImage were the sequence of commands I used for generating the kernel. I have modified some of the files in "include/asm-ppc" and "arch/ppc" directories to account for board specificity. Using TFTP I download the kernel to the target from my host. When I issue "bootm" command the boot loader decompresses the kernel image and loads it into SDRAM. I see the message "...Control is being turned over to Kernel..." and after that there is no activity on the console. Would any kind soul have any suggestions as to how I can proceed to debug the problem? Thanks for all your help Srini P.S. If someone can list all the files that need to be modified to account for a non-supported board then it will be much appreciated. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
