That's what threw me off when I wrote this email I >believe. Who is "we"? Did you use kexec and pass ext2.gz as a ramdisk? u-boot supports this like for ever. You start the kernel via bootm x y z where y is the address of the ramdisk / initrd. passing the address the ext2.gz files does not work. As an alternative to this you can only pass x to bootm and the image has the "uImage.FIT" format which can contain the kernel, device tree and a ramdisk in one piece. >-M Sebastian _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
