RE: zImage.elf loads but does not start

[Mirek23 <miroslaw.dach@psi.ch>]

Thanks for the suggestions. I have changed the command line argument: 
console:ttl0 -> ttyUL0 and kernel has booted up to the point to mount the
root file system. 

I have set up the kernel to mount the root file systems via the nfs. I have
started the nfs server on the remote pc. 
Unfortunately the kernel did not mount the nfs root file system. The strange
thing is that during booting the kernel I did not see any entry which refers
to the TEMAC driver (which I have enabled in the kernel). 

I have noticed that in the drivers/net/xilinx_temac directory there is a
file xtemac_g.c. It creates the global variable (a table) which contains all
fo the definitions to configure TEMAC interface. All of the definitions used
in the xtemac_g.c file come from xparameters_ml403.h. The strange thing is
that this xtemac_g.c is not include in the Makefile to be compiled. 

I have incluede that file to the Makefile in order to use the TEMAC config
parameters but when booting the kernel I did not find any diffrence
compering to the driver which was originaly built without the xtemac_g.c 

The kernel boots as following:

Would you have any idea why it did not recognise the TEMAC interface and how
to configure the kernel that it recognises the network device.
