So in short (just to make it crystal clear): Even if u-boot works fine and linux starts without any issues and can run some binaries (busybox from what I see) okey. If I am seeing some kernel oops when running bigger binaries (e.g apt/ipkg) / doing heavier stuff (trying to ftp/lynx through pcmcia card), it could be cause by bad memory configuration and/or bad initialization? > Best regards, > > Wolfgang Denk > > -- > DENX Software Engineering GmbH, MD: Wolfgang Denk & Detlev Zundel > HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany > Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: w...@denx.de > "He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both > eyes ..." _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
