So, I've gotten the latest u-boot installed and working. Here's my boot
sequence-

-after that everything seems to freeze. There is no more console output, and
pings to the board fail.

What sort of debug output is available to me at this point?

I've tried various values for 'console' but I'm quite certain 'ttyCPM0' is the
one to use (just a reminder that it is a PPC-8272-based board).

I've even tried enabling the 'Early serial debugging for Freescale CPM-based
serial ports' option in the Kernel config. Unfortunately this doesn't result
in any noticeable difference.

Can you explain why my board is freezing?

Here is my Device Tree. It is a stripped-down version of mpc8272ads.dts (PCI
has been removed among many others). I have tried to minimise the tree just to
keep things simple.

Perhaps I removed something I shouldn't have?-
