Hi Guenter,

Re: ml605
The thing to watch out for with kernel configs for microblaze systems is the
physmem address setting. Unfortunately the kernel does not auto-detect this.

I'm attaching a kernelconfig for the ml605 that works for me and a qemu 
commandline.

qemu-system-microblazeel -M petalogix-ml605 -m 256 -serial mon:stdio -dtb 
petalogix-ml605.dtb -kernel arch/microblaze/boot/linux.bin -append 
rdinit=/bin/sh

Re: pmu
The PMU board does not run Linux, it runs baremetal power-management related 
firmware.

Cheers,
Edgar
