Re: can't find "init" when using 1GB ram on 7455.

[Brian Waite <waite@skycomputers.com>]

I had almost the exact same problem on the ev64260 platform with 1GB of
memory. Tak a look and make sure you are not doing any io_block_mapping()
calls in your platform setup functions. You might have one for early serial
messages. Look at the mapping and make sure it does not overlap. You might
have to reduce the io_block_mapping() size. Just a thought

Thanks
