Hello everyone, I am working on a fads 823 board. I am trying to boot the kernel and mount the ramdisk file system from flash. The kernel boots up just fine and also finds the compressed ramdisk image... But nothing happens after that. It does not mount the file system. I have all the kernel configurations set and I have the /dev/ram device which actually points to /dev/ram1 in the filesystem. What else could go wrong? Can someone please help?
Thank you, Navin 8xxROM 0.3.0 compiletime options: board: FADS DRAM_50MHZ SDRAM_50MHZ disk: DISK_ROM cpu: unknown 823 (0x21000000) at 56 MHz: 2Kbyte icache 1Kbyte dcache <warning: cpu core has silicon bugs, check the errata> board: FADS with db MPC823 rev ENG or PILOT flash: unknown flashdelay(0x4) - defaulting to 150 ns2 Mbytes, delay 150 ns dram: start 0 performing read performing write 4 Mbyte, 60 ns, OK sdram: start 400000 performing read performing write 4 Mbyte, OK Memory size : 8388608 main_loop status: 0 memsize 8388608 7f0000 800000 Scc2eInit end Ramstart: 0x200000 Romstart: 0xfe020000 ZStart: 0x200000 Copied 1640836 bytes into ram memory Starting at 0x200000 loaded at: 00200000 0020B1CC relocated to: 00100000 0010B1CC board data at: 007F0000 007F001C relocated to: 00200100 0020011C zimage at: 00206000 002658AF initrd at: 002658AF 0037F923 avail ram: 00380000 00800000 Linux/PPC load: Uncompressing Linux...done.
