Re: kernel boot up without using PPCBOOT from flash

In message [ref] you wrote:

I wrote the pMulti image into flash 2a00000
ppcboot is at location 2800000
i did the following settings
setenv bootcmd bootm 0x2a00000
and also  did saveenv ...
once i reset the board it just hangs thats it...

This description does NOT match the log you show below:

=>setenv bootcmd bootm 2a00000
=>saveenv
Saving Enviroment to Flash...

Erased 1 sectors

=>Ã  it hangs  at this point.
 how do i go about this problem ?

Judging from this output it seems that the board hangs as soon as you
performed the "saveenv" command. Where is the environment  stored  on
your  board? To me this looks like the environment placement for your
board was not configured correctly in U-Boot.

Umm... but this is off topic here.  Let's  move  this  discussion  to
u-boot-users, please.

Best regards,
