Hello there,
 
This is our first post on this list, hi = all!
We're two Dutch students working with a = Virtex-II=20 pro ff672 board from Memec with the Communications 2 module. We've = compiled a=20 simple kernel wich comes with MontaVista Linux 3.1 (2.4.20) with = ethernet=20 and a serial port. It mounts its root filesystem over NFS and everything = seems=20 to work nicely. The next step we wanted to make was adding support = for the=20 Flash on the com board. We added the IP to the hardware and loaded = the new=20 bitstream in the FPGA. Next thing, we enabled support for MTD devices in = the=20 kernel. After that, the kernel did not seem to boot anymore. It stopped = at the=20 message 'Now booting the kernel'. So we read some documentation about = debugging.=20 We recompiled this kernel with the -g -ggdb options and removed the -O=20 (optimalization) flag. Then we did not even see the ppc boot loader = messages=20 anymore when trying to boot. So we tried to compile the first kernel = (with only=20 serial and ethernet support) -wich worked fine before- with = debugging and=20 it gave us the same result.. no output at all.
Can anyone give us some hints on what = we can try=20 more to find out what is going wrong?
