I have a Xilinx ppc405 working out of the 2.6.18-rc7 linux-2.6 git 
tree - with patches for my board.
   
    I beleive you are either just at the end of the code in 
arch/ppc/boot/simple - which is mostly the initial load/decompress.
    Or just started the code in arch/ppc/kernel/head_4xx.S

    You ought to be able to grep "Now booting" to establish a last know 
good point.
    There is also a pretty good call tree in comments of 
arch/ppc/platforms/4xx/xilinx_ml403.c.
    While small parts are ml403 specific, much of it is generic.
    However, if you have not gotten into arch/ppc/kernel/head_4xx.S then 
you are not at the begining yet.
