Re: initrd for MPC860/862 with eldk2.1.10

Hi XOL,

in message [ref] you wrote:

I have eldk-2.1.10 and kernel 2-4-18

ELDK 2.1.10? Such a version does not exist.

...

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
crc errorFreeing initrd memory: 4951k freed

Seems your ramdisk image is broken.

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Warning: unable to mount devfs, err: -2
Freeing unused kernel memory: 52k init
Warning: unable to open an initial console.

The reset are probably results from the first error.

Are there any ready to use images for eldk && 2.4.18?

Sure. See /opt/eldk/ppc_???/images/

Probaly someone has script for copying minimum files set from nfs rootfs to ramdisk.
What is the minimum set of files I need to boot?

See the SELF package which also  comes  with  the  ELDK;  it  is  not
exactly  the  minimum (as it provides a couple of "advanced" services
like telnet and FTP etc.), but it's a starting point, and it has been
tested to work.

I'm new in embedded linux field so excuse me for
such newbie questions.

You are welcome.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
