 Hi all developers.
I don't think _all_ developers are interested in this.

Please send PPCBoot related messages to the PPCBoot mailing list instead.
 IP_CONFIG: Incomplete network configuration info
 dev_cluse: bug eth0 still running....
That means you are passing incomplete network  configuration  to  the
kernel.
#define CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND							\
"bootp ;" 									\
"setenv bootargs console=tty0 console=ttyS0 " 					\
"root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=$(serverip):$(rootpath) " 				\
"ip=$(ipaddr):$(serverip):$(gatewayip):$(netmask):$(hostname):eth0:off ;" 	\
"bootm"
When the kernel starts, it prints a  line  with  the  boot  arguments
which  were  passed  to  it.  There  must be some parameters missing;
probably the "rootpath" environment variable is not set.
 I think CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND is imcomplte.
No, it it OK. But your BOOTP server configuration in probably incomplete.
 Could someone describe how to use this BOOTCOMMAND for booting with ramdisk
 any comments will help me.. thanks.
Now when you want to boot with a ramdisk, you definitely DO NOT  want
to  pass  "root=/dev/nfs  nfsroot=$(serverip):$(rootpath)" as part of
the boot arguments!

Try "root=/dev/ram" instead!
