Hi groups, I have a problem booting Linux with u-boot. Here are my configurations Processor -> MPC823 Board -> FADS823 Available RAM -> 0x000 to 0x 800000 Linux kernel Linked at -> 0x40000 mkimage on kernel done with Load address -> 0x40000 mkimage on kernel done with Entry point -> 0x4000c mkimage on RAMDISK done with Load Address -> 0x100000 mkimage on RAMDISK done with Entry point -> 0x100000
From u-boot command prompt, I do the following
tftpboot 40000 linux.img tftpboot 100000 ramdisk.img bootm 40000 100000
It says successful loading kernel , as well as RAMDISK. But after which, I do not get any further Linux banneers. In fact, the Linux kernel 's printfs aren't seen. I set the env variable bootargs as /dev/ram.. But in any case, only after the kernel boots up and the VFS is initialized, the Rootfs is going to come into picture, right ?? Any clues....
