Re: MVME5100 and bugboot fails

I tried that and I was unable to relocate just the initrd. Right now, I just
tested to see:
if  ((zImage_start >= 0xf0000000) || (zImage_start <= 0x00800000))

That seems to work for now, but I'll take a peek at the gemeni and see how
they do it.

I am playing with the MVME5100 and I am having a bit of trouble with

booting

using bugboot and an initrd. I get a message at bootup saying initrd > 16

MB

and then as it is booting it gets an oops in mem_init.

My question is is the failure due to the bootloader not relocating the

initrd

or is it that ClearPageReserved() is being called when the initrd is in
FLASH? Any ideas?

Right now, we only see if we need to relocate the initrd if we need to
relocate
the kernel.  I'll go and fix this (I think gemini has the right idea).

Er, after re-reading, it's wrong too.  I'll send you a patch
privately, if you can test it.
