I'm trying to get a Assabet board (phase 5) to run a linux kernel; the
board has 32 MB DRAM and the problem happens with or without the daughter
board attached.
I'm using kernel 2.4.0-test2-1.2.3-2 from the hard hat linux people. Using
angelboot (Ver 1.10) to download. I've tried the Brutus ramdisk.gz and the
ramdisk_ks.gz from Wearablegroup.org people.
But neither of them work for me.
Initially I used the Brutus ramdisk getting the following output; Tux is on
the screen of the Assabet and the cursor is blinking but minicom is locked up.
------ last section of the output --------
RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 8192K size 1024 blocksize
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31
ide: Assuming 50MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0

ttyS1 on SA1100 UART3 (irq 17)
ttyS2 on SA1100 UART2 (irq 16), using IRDA
UDA1341 audio driver initialized

options: none

ds: no socket drivers loaded!
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 64k init
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
------------ end of output --------------
Now I tried copying the init command to a number of the alternate places
that it can reside. Same results. Seems to be mounting the ramdisk but .....
So then I tried using the ramdisk_ks.gz, and realised this one is probably
more useful to me although I'll be happy with either one going :-). But the
output got a bit further, till it crashed, Tux is once again on the screen.

------------ end of output ----------------------
I'm hoping that someone out there can tell me what it is that I'm doing
wrong. I imagine it is staring me in the face but I cannot see it.
I've been through the FAQ's on http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/,
where it suggested I email this group so here I am.
Sorry for the length.
Thanks in advance.
