I'm guessing you are running into some PCI config issue with interrupts and the such. Take a look at arch/ppc/platforms/85xx/* for examples of boards that support 85xx processors. - kumar On Jun 28, 2005, at 9:03 AM, wrote: > I've recently received a GDA PCI-G8400 evaluation board with an > MPC8541E.
