[U-Boot-Users] Help request, MPC5200 Lite, Monitor

[Victor Wren <vwren@timension.com>]

Hey, there.  I am working with the MPC5200 Lite, and thanks to the 
suggestions of using ELDK, I successufully (I think) compiled a boot image 
for the 5200 under RH9_i386.  I used the patch for lowboot (although, because 
patch on RH9 didn't seem to like the diff file regardless of "-p" levels, I 
had to apply it with VIm).  I move the jumper over, hit the reset button, and 
I get this on minicom:

=============================
The countdown starts at 5, but it doesn't seem to be recognizing 
keystrokes before it plunges into the void of random memory.

The BAUD settings appear to be the same as I've been
successfully using with the Motorola dMon (115200), and it seems to be 
writing to minicom quite legibly, but it doesn't seem
to be reading the serial port.  Any suggestions where I could look to see 
why?  The ethernet is at its default of bootp, but I didn't think that shold 
make any difference to the serial terminal.  I'm also curious about it 
booting the image at 0x100000 (doesn't exist, obviously), but I expect I'll 
figure that out once I see how to set up initrd (or whatever ramdisk is 
needed).

Thanks,
