Hi all, I am working on PPC IBM 405 based processor board. I have kernel from "montavista" 2.4.17-mv121 version. I have tried to put the vmlinux image in the "SDRAM" after doing the all initialization (in boot level). We are loading the vmlinux in SDRAM at 0x00020000. I am not able to see any debug message on the serial port. I am not sure about the kernel jump location. Is there any way to find out the exact location to load the kernel and jump to proper location.
You can't just boot vmlinux directly -- depending on which boot monitor you're using (eg. OSOpen, PPC/UBoot) you need to be using a different kernel image. If you're using OSOpen, you need zImage.treeboot. If you're using PPCBoot/UBoot, you need pImage. --Chris ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
