Re: Problem with MPC823 LCD driver

That could be it.  One obvious indicator is that without LCD and
the caches disabled, everything works fine.  If it breaks with the
caches turned on, check your UPM burst tables.  This is where most
mistakes occur.  Also, be sure to bring all the UPM signals back
high at the end of your transactions.
