Hi guys, I have the Rev B board and I have it working quite well. I'll share what I have discovered so far.
In Eric's case, the board seems suspect. There is already a Rev C of this board, but I am not sure if it is actually available yet. You may want to check on that. Regarding U-Boot, mine shipped with v. 1.3.0. The LTIB provided dts files follow the original dts format. There is a new dts spec and if you ever intend to use a mainline kernel, you will need to use the newer dts provided in the kernel source. Did I mention this board has at least basic support in 2.6.28 :). I have not determined the extent of the support though. I have successfully used the provided U-Boot v1.3.0 to boot a 2.6.28 kernel with the dts-v1 device tree. Hence, I hope that will clear your speculation about the device tree being the problem. I have seen the same problem that you guys have seen where U-Boot gets to the "Uncompressing kernel ..." then reboots. This happened to me when I passed the wrong device tree .dtb. I have also had this happen if I made a change to the kernel config. I haven't been able to determine what exactly that I changed that caused the problem though. Also, if you are feeling adventurous, you can also get the latest U-Boot. There is a specifc branch for this board: $ git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot-mpc83xx.git I haven't attempted this since I don't currently have a probe to recovery a bad boot loader flash. Hope this helps, Mike
