2.6.23.10 is very old. Please use current code. 2.6.23 was long before
the switch to arch/powerpc, so all the efforts you are spnding now on
this old stuff are really wasted.

Use at least 2.6.28 or later.

Why don't you start with a good, known to work kernel config file
like 44x/katmai_defconfig ?

For example, you mention a 440SPe processor above, but your config
file seems to be derived from a Luan board, which is 440SP (not SPe)
so there is not much surprise if it doesn't work.

In the first place, please use current code.

Second - which exact board is this? Katmai?

What exactly are your environment settings? Which exact value of
"bootargs" do you pass to Linux? Does it include a valid console=
argument?


Best regards,
