Thank you al for your help.

However, as of now I do not have a functioning board. I am using the kernel build using the ELDK 3.1.1 tools and a file system which was build using Montavista tools (DevRocket 1.1). Is that a problem??? The kernel is uncompressed on the board and loads, but the Login prompt never comes up. Following are my boot up messages.

The board we are using contains the Lite5200 The purpose for doing all this is to get the USB flash drive to work on the board (read, write files to it) Thanks again for all your help.
