Hello! I'm currently trying to boot Linux 2.4.25 on a Motorola VME 2100 board, featuring a MPC8240 controller.
I want to use the PPCbug monitor to boot Linux via TFTP - the download step completes successfully: PPC5-Bug>nbo Network Booting from: DEC21143, Controller 0, Device 0 Device Name: /pci at fec00000/pci1011,19 at e,0:0,0 Loading: images/zImage-2.4.25.prep Client IP Address = 192.168.1.3 Server IP Address = 192.168.1.1 Gateway IP Address = 0.0.0.0 Subnet IP Address Mask = 255.255.255.0 Boot File Name = images/zImage-2.4.25.prep Argument File Name = Network Boot File load in progress... To abort hit <BREAK> Bytes Received =&954298, Bytes Loaded =&954298 Bytes/Second =&954298, Elapsed Time =1 Second(s) Residual-Data Located at: $01F5511C And then the system seems to hang - it will no longer react to the ABT (ABORT) interrupt switch, and will only work again on a cold reset (RST). PreP Netboot is enabled in the ENV of the PPCbug. The kernel has the following command line args compiled in: Initial kernel command string: "console=ttyS0,9600 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/home/korpo/praktikum/mvme2100/rootfs ip=192.168.1.3:192.168.1.1::255.255.255.0:mvme2100::off" (without the wraparound, of course) Serial console support is builtin, no PMC VGA controller is onboard. Why don't I at least get a serial console output?? Thanks a lot in advance, Oliver Korpilla CS student at the University of Applied Sciences at Landshut, Germany ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
