Subject: Re: reboot of mpc8270 sometimes fails

Hi!

I solved our problem a different way: I added a reset of the CPM just 
before calling te m8260_gorom().
The effect is that the message "rebooting" which was often followed by a 
strange character is now cut short ("reboo"), but uboot is always 
comming up afterwards. I've tested this by adding a "reboot" command in 
an S script in rc3.d. The system with the unpatched kernel failed 
aboutonce every 30 times it rebooted, with the patch it continued 
rebooting correctly for 3 days (then I stopped the tests by hand).

The code for rebooting the CPM was obtained from the freescale manuals 
of the mpc8270.
Anyone interested in the actual patch?

Theo.
