Subject: help me on 2.6.15 kernel on MPC850

Hey Guys,

The CPU was spinning when executing in head_8xx.S::initial_mmu. I have 
located the instruction that cause the spinning through on-board leds. 
Do you have any ideas?

#ifdef CONFIG_8xx_COPYBACK
       mtspr   SPRN_DC_CST, r8                                     <<< 
The spinning was caused by this instruction
#endif

#else
       /*
        * For a debug option, I left this here to easily enable
        * the write through cache mode
        */
       lis     r8, DC_SFWT@h
       mtspr   SPRN_DC_CST, r8
       lis     r8, IDC_ENABLE@h
       mtspr   SPRN_DC_CST, r8
#endif

       blr

The hardware, bootloader, linux I'm using:

1) MPC850, 1KB DCache + 2KB ICache
2) u-boot 1.1.4 ( Data Cache is turned off all the way, but instruction 
cache is always on)
3) ppclinux 2.6.15

Thanks,
Gavin
