The image certainly won't work without any bootloader, whether it is PPCBoot or the code found in arch/ppc/mbx (or arch/ppc/boot/mbx depending on your source base). The kernel requires a bunch of registers and information set up before it is called, and one of those two methods must be used to ensure this happens. I believe there is a working FADS port in the FSM Labs BitKeeper sources. If not, you can download the older 2.4.0-test2 LSP from MontaVista and use it as a guide for updating a later kernel. The changes are very minor. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
