hello all, Am happy to tell that linux booted up .... the problem was that the at the time of low level initialization the devices rs232,ethernet,irdn has to be enabled using the BCSR1 register ..simple right ;) but...kernel is hanging at this point ,, vfs:unable to mount /dev/ram0 .... rebooting in 180 seconds .. to solve this problem i downloaded the ramdisk image from the denx site ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/simple-ramdisk.image.gz.
I put this image in /arc/ppc/mbxboot i did a mkimage -n "linuxppc" -A ppc -O linux \ -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 -d simple-ramdisk.image.gz. /tftpboot/ramimg then tftpboot 100000 linuximg tftpboot 200000 ramimg bootm 100000 200000 it hangs after verifying checksum ....ok Loading Ramdisk to 0035b000, end 0075b000...ok then no output :( how do i go abt this problem ....any hints ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
