Brennan,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I downloaded the files again
and made sure they were binary transfers, and still no luck. I
also downloaded armedslack-current (I had the original
armedslack-13.37 that I used on my sheevaplug) but still no
change. I'm confused because the kernel boots after the initial
tftpboot and I can install software, configure the system, etc.,
but when I try to reboot the system hangs.

Jim,
I had this same issue and it was driving me crazy, it is a
simple fix (at least for me). Simply re-download the kernel
images and make sure that you are transferring it over in
binary. I had used Filezilla to get my install and it was set
to transfer all files in ascii by default which according to
many people in the world today mangles binary files pretty
badly. Hope this helps.

I've been trying to install ARMedslack on my Dreamplug (ser:
1148-XXXXXX) by following Stuart's excellent instructions in
INSTALL_KIRKWOOD.TXT, but have been unable to get the system
to boot. I believe it is due to a problem with my u-boot
which I scrambled earlier. I have been able to find only
one version of u-boot that will run on this machine (the
guruplug version from http://www.armedslack.org/maint_kirkwooduboot
loads but hangs after a 'reset'). This one works:
Marvell>> version
U-Boot 2011.03-00012-g1a93b51-dirty-pingtoo-v1.2 (Jun 15
2011 - 22:44:57)
Marvell-DreamPlug
armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Gentoo 4.4.4-r2 p1.3,
pie-0.4.5) 4.4.4
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.20.1.20100303
I am following Stuart's instructions with two exceptions:
1. I am using dream-2.6.38.4-uImage (renamed
uImage-kirkwood) from with-linux instead of uImage-kirkwood
from the distribution due to a known problem with
uImage-kirkwood on the Dreamplug. (http://lists.armedslack.org/2011-August/000978.html)
2. I am using a fat16 boot partition rather that the ext2
partition Stuart uses in his documentation, so I have
changed all references to "ext2load" to "fatload" in the
bootcmd
The system loads uinitrd-kirkwood okay, then loads
uImage-kirkwood (which is really dream-2.6.38.4-uImage), but
hangs after:
"Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel."
I don't think this is the problem, but does anyone see any
problems with my u-boot variables? Also, I've read that
newer Dreamplugs (#114 and later) have some differences from
the earlier version. Could this be why the majority of
u-boot versions I've found do not run on this machine? Any
ideas on where I can find a suitable u-boot? I tried the
version referenced here:
(http://www.newit.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1977.0)
but that version hangs also.
Any input is appreciated!
Thanks,
Jim
