I am using ELDK-2.0 to create a bootable kernel image for PPC8xx. I have PPCBoot on my target and I want to download the kernel from the host to the target using TFTP boot. I have verified that I can transfer the image via TFTP boot. I am creating the initrd image using the following sequence of commands.
1. make config 2. make dep 3. make clean 4. make zImage.initrd 5. Compress the "zvmlinux.initrd" executable using "gzip" 6. Execute mkimage command to prepare it for "ppcboot" After the image is downloaded the kernel image is uncompressed without any errors. But then I get the messsage "No initrd" and the system no longer responds. Can one of you please point to where I may be going wrong?
