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.
