If you didn't get any output beyond this then it's probably[1] failing in the bootwrapper, not the kernel itself -- so neither _log_buf nor CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG would help. > Please can anyone suggest if I am missing something here and how can I get > the debug output on my serial console during bootup. To debug, if you aren't able to use JTAG, add code to the bootwrapper to manually poke at known CPM serial addresses early on, to see how far it's progressing. Are you sure the device tree you're using is correct for your board, including all addresses being where your U-Boot configured them? -Scott [1] Another possibility would be that it's booting, but serial output isn't working.
