Yes, there are some differences. Memory speed is slower at the moment (board is still in bringup stage). There are other subtle differences as well. I believe Brian also saw the bug on a non-walnut 405GP. I was kinda hoping it was specific to some hardware, but i don't see any pattern. It seems that the bug is very sensitive to timing, at least from watching it seeminly disappear as Eli made small changes to the atomic ops or related code, as well as Brian's comments about using the non-inline form of the atomic ops. > > If someone gets a chance, would you give the FSM labs linuxppc_2_5 > sources a whirl before they disappear?

I can give it a try if you have some confidence it should build and and run a shell on a walnut board. thanks david ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
