Hi Wolfgang Thanks for quick response.
I am kind of helpless regarding the kernel version, as our customer is using it and I need to replicate their environment. I just tried 2.6.28 with katmai_defconfig file and still face the same problem. The config file that I sent before is provided by the customer. It is a working configuration for them. The exact board that I have is Katmai. I verified that I am using serial port 0. I tried to set bootargs to just console=ttyS0,115200 and I don't see the kernel booting. Everything in env variables seems ok to me unless something trivial is missing my eyes. My sequence for boot is =>tftp 0x1000000 uImage-ppc => run flash_nfs (I have done this manually also) my printenv output is as follows.

Please use current code. 2.6.23 was long before the switch to arch/powerpc, so all the efforts you are spnding now on this old stuff are really wasted. Use at least 2.6.28 or later. > kernel.org. My .config file is attached. I used ARCH=ppc and Why don't you start with a good, known to work kernel config file like 44x/katmai_defconfig ? For example, you mention a 440SPe processor above, but your config file seems to be derived from a Luan board, which is 440SP (not SPe) so there is not much surprise if it doesn't work. > CROSS_COMPILE=ppc-linux- (also tried ppc_4xx-) and did 'make uImage', > but unable to boot into the kernel.

In the first place, please use current code. Second - which exact board is this? Katmai? > => run flash_nfs What exactly are your environment settings? Which exact value of "bootargs" do you pass to Linux? Does it include a valid console= argument?
