Subject: initrd question...

quoted

Hello:
    Now I want to get my initrd running. I use the ramdisk demo

"ramdisk.image.gz" under

quoted

arch/ppc/mbxboot and compile my zvmlinux.initrd.
    The target boots correctly at the beginning. It decompresses the

kernel and runs the kernel and

quoted

shows the boot messages. When all is done, it begins to mount root

filesystem (on Ramdisk), and shows

quoted

the following messages:
        RAMDISK:Compressed image found at block 0
        VFS:Mounted root (ext2 filesystem)
         Freeing unused kernel memory:28k init
Then nothing happen.

If your root file system is nfs, and disable BOOTP kernel option
then nothing happen. like you.

I'v changed root file system from NFS to RAMdisk. and disabled BOOTP.

Yes, I have also done this. But the problem still exists. why?

quoted

At this time it should show the shell prompt. But I don't know why it

didn't show. And I couldnot input

quoted

any character.
Cross-compile environment:
[binutils-2.9.1.0.19a        egcs-1.1.2           glibc-2.1(including

crypt, linuxthreads)]

quoted

I cross-compile my kernel under the above environment.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thank in advance
dony
