No, that was ony added in 2.6.18-rc1 (and the fix was only added
post-rc3), so that can't be it..

I am not sure of the details, but I had the exact same problem, I
used "git bisect" to isolate it.<br>
and it bisected down to the Zlib patch I backed that out and I was
able to go from 2.6.16.21. all the way to 2.6.18-rc2.<br>
I beleive there is another problem of some kind that effects Xilinx
ppc's that went in and got fixed between 2.6.16.21 and 2.6.18-rcx.<br>
Though my symptoms were different for that one, and I was never
able to isolate it because even though I could not get 2.6.17 to work,<br>
The stuff in the 2.6 git tree did.<br>
<br>
Have you tried 2.6.18.x to see if your stuff works with it ?<br>
