My question was for XScale board only. So I assume if I download linux image
from Monta Vista for XScale and try it on latest sources for RedBoot it
should work. Or do we have latest binary of redboot for xscale that I could
use to verify linux on redboot for xscale.
thanks

There was an issue with RedBoot not scrubbing parts of SDRAM at boot time.
CygMon didn't have this problem, so linux would work with cygmon, but not
RedBoot. That problem has been fixed in the anon-cvs sources. The problem
probably does exist in the RedBoot shipped with the board.
