Hi all,

I am working on mpc8245 based board. I have compiled the ppcboot with 64MB ram and its working fine and linux is ported successfully.
But when I have configured the RAM to 182MB in ppcboot, I am getting the boot prompt and while loading linux its crashing . What can be the reason?

Thanks & Regards,

Rakesh

Your RAM initialization sequence is broken.

Also, 182 MB of RAM is a _very_ strange size.

Also, PPCBoot is a dead project. You shouls not use it for current work. You should rather switch to U-Boot instead.

And finally, all this is off toopic on this list, and you should rather post to U-Boot-Users.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
