Well, shoot.  I guess the next likely thing is that I have something
weird enabled in my .config, so I'll try booting corenet32_smp_defconfig
on my P4080DS.  (I vaguely think I did that at some point but I can't
swear to it so I'll just retry.)  If that doesn't boot, could either of
you provide me with your built uImage so I can exclude toolchain
stupidity?

=> I'll send another mail when I got to try corenet32_smp_defconfig.


Aaaand, during the past week I noticed this is a rev1.0 P4080 chip, which
apparently only exists on some early P4080DS boards - and Freescale even
did a replacement program to get rev2.0 boards out (I guess this one was
sitting in some broom closet.)  I don't have access to erratas for this,
I only know the entire QMan/FMan stuff is royally f*cked - no idea
whether the PPC core has issues too.

FWIW, my board is running perfectly stable with that patch I posted and
I'll just carry it locally if it's an issue for this one specific board
I have here.  I just don't have sufficient information to tell if that
is indeed the case.

Thanks a lot for your input and help,


-David
