Perhaps you should be asking these questions on an ARM Linux list.
This list, and its members, concentrate mostly on PowerPC based
systems and the software that support them.

Re: kernel can't boot

[sun-zj]

Hi, Denk:

Thank you for your wise instructions. I do as told . After I clear the
clock_in_mhz environment variable
the kernel boot. It goes well. Thanks again. :)
Our board use the Intel Flash 28F320C3T which driver for linux is not
available now. I found that
on the www including the mtd base org. But nothing.
I wonder if I want to develop the driver for myself,
what should I do for the kernel?

Appreciate your kind help

Best regard

Zongjun Sun

You are welcome.

What makes you think so? This flash chip  is  used  on  a  couple  of
boards and the existing Linux drivers work fine with it.

Nothing.

Best regards, and a Happy New Year!

kernel can't boot

[sun-zj]

Hi, all:

I am using the ELDL-2.1 from denx(Thanks their hard works)
and the recent kernel advised by Denk(thanks a lots). I compile
it and download it by tftp with FEC ethernet.
I use the FADS board and U-boot-1.0.0. The eldk enclosed
kernel-2.4.4 works fine. But kernel-2.4.23 can go to the stage

of Uncompressed kernel image OK. and then system Hangs there
without any messages?

Who can tell me what happens ?

Thanks your advice.

Best Regards.

Probably the kernel received invalid parameters (clock information).

You did not read the FAQ. See
