Problems starting init on a SH7750R based board

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello,

I am new to the sh port for Linux. I succesfully ported U-Boot to an 
SH7750R based
board, and trying to get Linux running. It works pretty nice until the 
init is loaded.
After this I get an Intevent 0x1e0, and then nothing more works ...

1) Has somebody here an idea, where this intevent come from? How I can 
prevent
    it?

2) I see this intevent only, after the console output "Freeing unused 
kernel memory: 88k freed"

3) Sometimes I see the output from the BusyBox, or from a hello_world 
applikation,
    sometimes I see nothing, somtimes after this intevent a ping to the 
board works,
    sometimes the console is working(I get back the characters I send)  ...

BTW:
4) I think the generic_irq_demux funktion dont work nice, if I get such 
an eventvector,
    the resulting irq is 0x7ffffff, and irq is used as an index in 
generic_handle_irq()
        struct irq_desc *desc = irq_desc + irq;
    , and + 0x7ffffff is somewhere in the RAM, thats not good.

Here my output from the console:

[...]
(between each "irq: 7ffffff evt: 1e0" line is a pause from approx. 1 minute)

To get the last outputs, I made a boardspecific irq_demux function:

static inline int poseidon_irq_demux(int irq)
{
        if ((irq != 16)  && (irq != 8) && (irq != 43))printk (" irq: %x 
evt: %x\n", irq, irq2evt(irq));
        /* 8 Ethernet, 43 Tx Empty, 16 Timer IRQ */
        irq &= 0xff;
        return irq;
}

(I now, I get now irq=255, but this is better then 0x7ffffff ;-) I 
think, the problem is in
getting the intevt 0x1e0 in the do_IRQ () function, but i have no idea, 
why this happens,
and how to prevent, solve it. Hope somebody here has an idea.

I also tried as init application an hello_world, same behaviour ....

thanks in advance
