Re: Kernel boot

In message [ref] you wrote:

I am using ELDK-2.0 to create a bootable kernel image for PPC8xx. I have
PPCBoot on my target and I want to download the kernel from the host to the
target using TFTP boot. I have verified that I can transfer the image via
TFTP boot. I am creating the initrd image using the following sequence of
commands.

There is basicly zero relevance to Linux so this is off topic on this
list. You should ask this on the U-Boot-Users mailing list instead.

1. make config
2. make dep
3. make clean

OK so far.

4. make zImage.initrd

Wrong. Please see the README for instructions how to  build  a  Linux
image for use with U-Boot / PPCBoot.

5. Compress the "zvmlinux.initrd" executable using "gzip"

Twice wrong.

6. Execute mkimage command to prepare it for "ppcboot"

Completely bogus.

responds. Can one of you please point to where I may be going wrong?

Please read the available documentation.

Best regards,
