Hi All I have built a zImage.initrd.ebony image [ Kernel + Ramdisk] for my custom board which has 440GP as its processor. This board doesn't have ethernet support. However the kernel image contain network and ethernet support.
If I download this image to the custom board , I get the following errors. "EXT2-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): ext2_check_page: bad entry in directory #20: unaligned directory entry - offset=0, inode=4294967295, rec_len=65535, name_len=255". I tried the same image with my evaluation board , it works fine. I have taken the ramdisk image from HHL. Can you help me in solving this issue. Thanking you in advance Regards Aman Below is the console output of my custom board loaded at: 01000000 0134A1BC zimage at: 01005970 010829D3 initrd at: 01083000 013465FE avail ram: 00400000 00800000 Linux/PPC load: root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=8192 Uncompressing Linux...done.
