(related to this post : http://marc.info/?l=linuxppc-embedded&m=119609022221017&w=2) Apparently it was a problem with cpm_uart on SMC1. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/23/99) the patch have been integrated in 2.6.23. Now i use this kernel and busybox works. I want to migrated my board in powerpc branch instead of ppc (i plan to use xenomai but in 2.6.23 there is only an adeos patch for piowerpc branch), but i see the use of a device tree instead of bd_t struct. I'm a bit disappointed because i also see that older u-boot (in my case ppcboot 1.1.5) aren't capable to pass dts to kernel. Is there a way to keep my old bootloader to boot a powerpc branch kernel ? Best regards Fab
