Linux booting problem

Linux booting problem

[Segin]

I am having a problem booting *any* modern version of Linux on y Compaq 
Presario CDS 520. It keeps having a kernel panic after trying to read a 
compressed ramdisk (for floppy-based boots, which is all I can try, the 
system was made before el-torito became standard).
All kernel panics produce similar output, the most recent from 2.0.31 is:
divide error: 0000
CPU:    0
EIP:    0010:[<0017f803>]
EFLAGS: 00000246
eax: 00000035   ebx: 00000010   ecx: 00000008   edx: 00000e52
... and some other stuff, the system's APM went active and it locked up, 
but it also did say "panic: tried to kill init!".

I have tried many kernel version from 2.0.0 up to the latest release. 
All of them exibit the same behaviour and divine error. The system has 
no FPU, and 'no387' is used as a kernel option. All custom kernels have 
math emulation ENABLED.

As a side note, Linux 0.99.15 boots just fine using loadlin.

Hi all,
I am trying to boot linux kernel (2.6.30) on a custom built board.I am using simple ppc platform and attached are my dts file and boot log..
I've 26Mb of RAM,UART and UIC with powerpc 440x5 processor.Kernel Image size is less than 1 mb.
cgc,skybeam  board is added in arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/ppc44x_simple.c
device tree file as bellow:----------------------------
/dts-v1/;

Can anyone tell what would be the problem..?

Linux booting problem

[Rakesh jagota]

Hi all,
I am working on custom design board based on IBM405ppc, I am getting the
error message, " oops... out of memory".

Can anyone suggest me where can I find the the SDRAM size defination in the
kernel. And where are they doing the memory mapping. I have modified the
partitons in  drivers/mtd/maps/redwood.c file  as per our board. but couldnt
loacte anything relted to SDRAM.

In arch/ppc/boot/simple/Makefile, I could not undersatnd one thing:

whats the meaning of this line:

LD_ARGS				= -T ../ld.script -Ttext 0x00800000 -Bstatic
ifeq ($(CONFIG_8260)$(CONFIG_4xx)$(CONFIG_8xx),y)
LD_ARGS				:= -T ../ld.script -Ttext 0x00400000 -Bstatic
endif


can anyone help me out to make it work.

Thanks & Regards,

Rakesh
