Hi  HAI-TAO,

The kernel I use is Linux version 2.4.0-test2 .

I enabled Sandpoint_debug. Here is the __most farther__ the boot goes:
-----
DINK32_ARTHUR >>go 900000
loaded at:     00900000 00914E20
relocated to:  00800000 00814E20
zimage at:     0090B000 00989621
avail ram:     00400000 00800000

Linux/PPC load: root=nfs
Uncompressing Linux...done.
Now booting the kernel
id mach(): doneMMU:enterMMU:hash inithash:enterhash:find
piecehash:patchhash:doneMMU:mapinMMU:setbatMMU:exitsetup_arch
: entersetup_arch: bootmemarch: exit
------
Observed problems:
1) The boot is no consistent.
     Sometime it hangs at
     Now booting the kernel
     id mach():

     Sometime it hangs at
     Now booting the kernel
     id mach(): doneMMU:enterMMU:hash inithash:enterhash:find piece

2) By luck, the most farther it reaches
     Now booting the kernel
     id mach(): doneMMU:enterMMU:hash inithash:enterhash:find
     piecehash:patchhash:doneMMU:mapinMMU:setbatMMU:exitsetup_arch
     : entersetup_arch: bootmemarch: exit

     It hangs there after entering free_area_init().

     I can't find the rountine under /arch/ppc/. So it must be an arch
independent
     rountine.

     Is it defined in mm/page_alloc.c:void __init free_area_init(unsigned long
*zones_size) ?

>From what I described, does anybody have a hint on what the problem is with
PPMC750 ?

The boot goes fine with PPMC7400 on Sandpoint.

Thanks,
