excellent hint. This is where it gets stuck: Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

I am just wondering how the linux kernel determines the amount of RAM; I did set arcNumber=2998 and mainlineLinux=yes properly. How does the kernel know the value of "arcNumber"? Does it read it from the uboot config from flash? Regards, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
