I managed to set up the host in order to serv the linux kernel. The kernel I download is the ordinary kernel from Montavista HH1.2. I prepared the zImage in the following way: 1. I stripped off the elf header. (dd if=zImage of=stripZImage bs=64k skip=1) 2. I run it through mklimon to add the limon specific header. After I've loaded the kernel I can see the kernel in the RAM from addr 0. When I issue the 'run' command the target crashes. ---------------- Linux Monitor 1.4.2-SBC-8260 ---------------- limon> limon> limon> load BOOTP/TFTP from server 10.1.20.2; our IP address is 10.1.20.1.

Is my kernel image munging correct? 2. Is the start address 0 correct? 3. Some data are transferred from limon to the kernel. - Does Limon handle this correctly? - Where are these data located? Thank you for any help Ruedi --Boundary_(ID_41PqGbsqhsWW8+BPUvGmnw)-- ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
