Anybody get 2.4 successful with sandpoint?

[ZHANG,HAI-TAO (Non-A-China,ex1)]

Hi,

Has anybody got successful boot of 2.4 kernel with sandpoint board? I am
using sandpoint 603e with lastest 2.4-test-9, but it still gets hang up
while executing /sbin/init.

Thanks,
Haitao Zhang

There is a sandpoint port to 2.4.0-test2 by MontaVista sitting at
ftp://www.mvista.com/pub/Area51/sandpoint-8240/sandpoint.linux.tar.gz

It can be built from with the 8240 tools from the MontaVista 1.2 CDK.  It
works on an 8240 and a 755/107 combo but there are some outstanding problems
too that I have not yet had time to look at.  Take a look, it may save you
some time.

I plan to bring it up to the latest kernel and push it up to the bitkeeper
repos when my schedule permits.

I'm currently porting ppcboot to 8240-sandpoint, and using your kernel sources
as a reference for a couple of things (epic, winbond).

Out of interest what outstanding problems are there?
