I've ported linux to a few custom 860 boards.

I am with you.

Well, I havn't had any trouble like that.
I started loading a 'vmlinux' to address 0 and started at address 0x0c.
That was just because I didn't like the things that was done in the
boot-code for the zImage.
The MBX board reads some stuff from the NVRAM and does a few wierd
things.
I've made a port to an ADS board from motorola, I've sent the patches to
Dan Malek.
I use the embedded-2.2.5 tarball, what code do you use?
My patches are for the embedded-2.2.5 code.
I've got a bootrom that loads a zImage or vmlinux from ATA-flash or
romdisk.
That might be a good start.
Another thing - remember to read the errata for the 860.
Revisions before C tend to have some problems.
And 860T has still (B3) got problems.
Good luck! /
