Hi,
Currently I am working on a cavium CN56xx reference board using cavium
sdk 1.9.0. the linux kernel bundled in sdk is 2.6.27. which works fine
on the reference board.
but while i am trying to use the latest linux kernel, ie. 2.6.31,
2.6.32, 2.6.33-rc4, i encountered the same problem: "Kernel panic -
not syncing: Attempted to kill init!".
here is the boot log (initramfs is compiled into the kernel, the linux
config file is attached to this mail):

My question is, what is the current status of octeon plus cn56xx
support in official linux kernel release? Is cavium cn56xx reference
board supported? If the answer is 'yes', how can I make the latest
kernel and boot it successfully on the reference board?
Thanks very much. I will be glad to provide more information if required.
