If you can boot the image via tftp but subsequently not from flash then maybe
it war not flashed correctly.
Are you erasing partition before writing kernel to it ?

Oggetto: Re: [ARMedslack] ARMedslack hangs during boot on Dreamplug
Brennan,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I downloaded the files again
and made sure they were binary transfers, and still no luck. I
also downloaded armedslack-current (I had the original
armedslack-13.37 that I used on my sheevaplug) but still no
change. I'm confused because the kernel boots after the initial
tftpboot and I can install software, configure the system, etc.,
but when I try to reboot the system hangs.

newer Dreamplugs (#114 and later) have some differences from

ideas on where I can find a suitable u-boot? I tried the
