Hi,
/I have downloaded the 2.6 kernel from
/http://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6-virtex.git , installed &
compiled it. I used "make ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
ml403_defconfig" to build the .config file. (As explained in
http://wiki.secretlab.ca/index.php/Linux_on_Xilinx_Virtex)PROBLEM -
1)Downloaded(sourceforge.net) & compiled the U-boot 1.1.6 files to
get u-boot, u-boot.srec & u-boot.bin (I didn't find ml403 board config
for the uboot. So used ml300_config).
After this, I tried to convert the u-boot (README says that this is
an ELF file) into an ace file. But, it gave me the error saying unable
to read elf file. Is it because ML403 board is not supported or is it
possible that the u-boot image that I created is corrupted?

PROBLEM -
2) Since generating ace files failed, I tried to search the net for an
u-boot ace file that could run on ML403 & found it at
http://88.191.24.164/docenligne/projets/samba/2006/linux-embarque-sur-ml-403/u-boot-ml403.ace/view
I copied this ace file (u-boot-ml403.ace) along with the kernel 2.6
image (uImage) onto my CF card & booted the board. After loading the
kernel, it fails to read the correct root device. I tried changing the
"bootargs" env variable root = /dev/xsysace/disc0/part2 rw to root =
/dev/xsysace2 rw & root = /dev/xsda2 rw.
But, it failed in both cases. (There was a previous post on
Problem2 a year ago & he solved it by giving root =/dev/xsysace2)

Can anyone help me with either one (or both) of the above problems? I
have pretty much run out of ideas. :(

Hi,
/ GOAL - To use the USB Host on ML403 in a PowerPC processor reference
system to store some data on a Thumb Drive./
/BACKGROUND - I downloaded the 2.6 kernel from
/http://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6-virtex.git , installed &
compiled it to get uImage & zImage.elf files. I used "make
ml403_defconfig" to build the .config file. (As explained in
http://wiki.secretlab.ca/index.php/Linux_on_Xilinx_Virtex)
