There are a few problems today with 8xx linux. People out there: Correct me if I'm wrong. I blame some of the strange problems on silicon bugs in the mpc860 chip. Read the chip errata. My MBX board has a XPC860ENZPA. I think I have a C1 chip on a other board which works better. The memory management is a bit strange. On some boards is it neccesary to reserve a few tlb entries. One other problem is that the 8xx series don't have a fpu. That is not a kernel problem, more a libc problem. The last problem I know is that the 8xx has a smaller (4 words) cahce line length compared to 60x. I think you should get a crosscompiler.
