I am trying to bring up Linux kernel 2.6.16 on EP8248 board and I am having some serious problems with console driver there, which doesn't work (console on SMC). The kernel hangs after console_init() and BDM shows exception that I was unable to trace to any specific point. I've got access to Arabella Linux 2.4 for this board, but it also doesn't work at all unfortunately. Just for reference, u-boot 1.1.6 works quite well after some chip-select patching. so I am sure that the board is functional. Linux-related information for this board is quite sparse and couldn't find anything useful for me. If any of you had successfully booted 2.6.* kernels on this board, I'd really appreciate some help or perhaps platform-specific files that you've used. Thanks in advance
