Thanks John for the update of how things are going with petalogix and linux for microblaze. Guess you'll be working remote with Michal (or did he move down under.. ?). He did a good job of making a generic platform for microblaze systems on u-boot (this should go into the Petalogix distrib).
Michal is working remotely, although I think he wouldn't mind the moev to Australia maybe in future :)
I had to remove all signs of the MPMC and define ERAM parameters manually to get things going.
This is fixed in the SVN trunk (and will be in snapshot release coming very soon).
And yes I apparently didn't have the uartsimple driver enabled in linux. I used a script to create a new vendor platform and the kernel config was apparently a bit "skinny". So I took the Xilinx Spartan-3E1600 board config as a starting point instead. Now things are compiling. Last build obstacle is regarding cramfs:

You need the package zlib-devel installed on your workstation - in CentOS / RHEL, do "sudo yum install zlib-devel". On Debian and friends it's probably "apt-get install zlib-devel" or similar
