Hi,<br><br>I'm a new member on this list. I've been trying to get my Sandpoint X3B/mpmc7447 to boot a stock Linux kernel from <a href="http://kernel.org">kernel.org</a> (tried 2.6.14 and 2.6.16). I'm running into a boot issue, I load
zImage.elf (using DINK32 v13.1.1) - I get the "Linux/PPC load:" prompt and then nothing (no more text, and no more serial port response).<br><br>I been searching through the archives - I did come across one email that mentioned that Motorola(Freescale) started to ship Sandpoint X3B's with serial #'s > 6000 with "different" switch settings (my board has a serial # greater than 6000). I haven't changed any switch settings from the defaults, the comments in arch/ppc/platforms/sandpoint.c seem to make reference to switch settings for the X1/2 board - but nothing about the X3B. In all my searching I have yet to find any reference to what the switch settings for the X3B rev should be for Linux.
<br><br>If anyone has any pointers regarding the switch settings for the X3B - or anything else that might help - I would appreciate any help I can get.<br><br>Here's my environment:<br><br>Development Environment:<br>-------------------------------------
