Hi Andreas,

Do you get any output with just OpenBIOS built with DEBUG_CIF enabled in 
libopenbios/client.c? According to my email here, one of the things I 
found a while back was that the dma-alloc method wasn't defined in 
OpenBIOS for PPC when trying to boot (see the OpenBIOS archives for more 
information).


HTH,

Mark.
