Hi All,

     I run Linux 2.6.21 (by Grant) on my Avnet Virtex-4 evaluation board
(ML403 like). When I load zIinux.elf
via jtag to the board it runs properly:

It goes to the successful end.

I have build u-boot 1.2.0 with uart lite and temac support.

When I am trying to run uImage (build out of zImage) it does not run.

The steps I do are as following:

1. I build uImage withing the kernel tree (make uImage)
2. I load via jtag the u-boot 1.2.0

XMD% dow u-boot.elf
        section, .text: 0x00800000-0x0081513c
        section, .resetvec: 0x0081513c-0x00815140
        section, .rodata: 0x00815140-0x00817ce0
        section, .reloc: 0x00817d00-0x00818674
        section, .data: 0x00818674-0x00818b08
        section, .data.rel: 0x00818b08-0x00818b34
        section, .data.rel.local: 0x00818b34-0x00818f6c
        section, .u_boot_cmd: 0x00818f6c-0x008191dc
        section, .bss: 0x00819200-0x0081dd04

3. I transfer uImage to the RAM memory of my Avnet board:
TFTP from server 129.129.144.113; our IP address is 129.129.144.157             
                                                  
Filename 'uImage'.                                                              
                                                   
Load address: 0x1000000

################################################################                
                                         
done

4. I am trying to start the kernel

=> bootm 0x1000000

After all system hangs

I have tried to change the Load Address and Entry Point to 0x400000 (mkimage
-a 0x400000 -e 0x400000)
but the system hangs like in the first case.

my bootargs are:
console=ttyUL0,9600 root=/dev/nfs rw
nfsroot=129.117.144.113:/opt/eldk41/ppc_4xx,tcp 
ip=::::virtex4-mirek:eth0:dhcp panic=1

Those bootargs where tested with zImage.elf and seem to be fine.

Does somebody has some suggestion?

Thank you in advance for any hint on that.

Mirek
