I have taken a look at the newbie guide. I have got a 2.6.13.4 kernel built with gcc 3.4.1 as per the instructions in the guide. I have the kernel image tftpboot loaded onto my OSK board and things progress a little further (but not much). I get: Starting kernel ... Uncompressing Linux...................................................... And then it all stops. In the newbie guide there was a section about this and I have added the extra head-omap.o to my Makefile in arch/arm/boot/compressed and rebuilt but still no improvement. Grepping through the build logs the object has been included so I'm guessing my mods worked ;-) On another point, my board does not allow me to save my Uboot environment. Typing save gives me: Saving E"@ironment to Flash... Un-Protected 1 sectors Erasing Flash...Can't erase unknown flash type 00000000 - aborted Erased 1 sectors Error: start and/or end address not on sector boundary OMAP5912OSK# This board is set at factory configuration and has not had Uboot updated since I unpacked it. Is it likely that my board is not functioning correctly? Thanks, Richard. -----Original Message----- From: Komal Shah [mailto:komal_shah802003@yahoo.com] Sent: 21 November 2005 10:56 To: Richard Copeman; linux-omap-open-source@linux.omap.com Subject: Re: Kernel not working --- Richard Copeman wrote: > Hello, > > > > I'm a newbie, so please forgive me if this has been answered > elsewhere. > > I have the 2.6.8rc3 kernel source downloaded from linux.omap.com and > have > built with GCC 3.3.2.
