I think you're right. We're getting into stuff I don't know much about, but: # mkimage -l uImageInstaller Image Name: Slackware 13.1 Installer Created: Tue Jul 27 22:30:45 2010 Image Type: ARM Linux Multi-File Image (uncompressed) Data Size: 16795836 Bytes = 16402.18 kB = 16.02 MB Load Address: 00008000 Entry Point: 00008000 Contents: Image 0: 2096780 Bytes = 2047.64 kB = 2.00 MB Image 1: 14699044 Bytes = 14354.54 kB = 14.02 MB I think I might see the issue. The Load Address / Entry Point appears to be 32KB (00008000 is hex, I believe). This is probably fine for the typical u-Boot environment, but I'm chainloading a second bootloader so a Load Address of 32KB is probably right on top of my second u-Boot. Will play with it this evening. > By the way, I used the extracted initrd to install Armedslack on my > SD/MMC based system and there was no problem (I extracted initrd to the > MMC card and booted it as my system has to little RAM to use initrd > directly). That's clever. If I can't figure out the Load Address stuff, this should be a good alternative. _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list [email protected] http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
