hi all, i am trying to boot the mpc860 board with ramdisk support. i downloaded pre built ramdisk.image.gz from ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/simple-ramdisk.image.gz
i put a printk in fs/opennamei () function i end up with the following output. is it crashing because of library missing or something else? thanks in advance - srinivas loaded at: 00200000 0020B598 relocated to: 00180000 0018B598 board data at: 001801D8 0018020C relocated to: 001F0100 001F0134 zimage at: 00208000 00249B2F initrd at: 00249B2F 002D5831 avail ram: 002D6000 00800000 Linux/PPC load: console=ttyS0,38400 root=/dev/ram Uncompressing Linux...done.
