Hi all,
 I am getting the above error output when I say go
(starting address) after loading the kernel source.
please help me on this.
Thank you,
 Usha.


Make sure you're really building a Malta kernel of the correct endianess and CPU type. It's easy to load a big-endian kernel on a little endian board when using srecord downloads.

  Try disassembling the code at 0x802e0024 to see if it makes sense:
YAMON> dis 0x802e0024

You didn't say what CPU you were using. It's possible that the kernel is really using an instruction (eg a cacheop) that is not supported by your CPU.
