I've been given the task of developing on an embedded ppc device called an ipengine. One of the things I'm supposed to do is use to update the kernel, from 2.2 which comes with the build environment, to 2.4.
I've been pretty unsuccsessful so far. I can build a zImage.gz file, include it in the ramdisk, load, start it, but when it comes to the point where it uncompresses the kernel, it hiccups back to the start point. For the build environment that comes with it, the kernel used is in the coffboot directory, which I don't understand. As I understand it, coffboot would be used for making boot floppies, right? So is there a difference between a zImage built "normally" and one that would be built for coffboot? What would I need to do to get my 2.4 kernel converted over to the format used by the 2.2 coffboot kernel? Thank you, ~lr ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
