I have a Xilinx ppc405 working out of the 2.6.18-rc7 linux-2.6 git
tree - with patches for my board.
I beleive you are either just at the end of the code in
arch/ppc/boot/simple - which is mostly the initial load/decompress.
Or just started the code in arch/ppc/kernel/head_4xx.S
You ought to be able to grep "Now booting" to establish a last know
good point.
There is also a pretty good call tree in comments of
arch/ppc/platforms/4xx/xilinx_ml403.c.
While small parts are ml403 specific, much of it is generic.
However, if you have not gotten into arch/ppc/kernel/head_4xx.S then
you are not at the begining yet.
