Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Date: Sat, 09 Jan 1999 00:49:17 +0100 Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: Hi, I'm trying to boot with `initrd' support on a MBX860 system. I know how to configure and build the kernel, and I know how to build the disk image, and I even seem to be able to build the zImage.initrd image. But I must be missing something, because such an image will not boot; all I see is: ...

Now booting the kernel Then the system hangs, and I have to reset it. Any help appreciated... Let's assume that I want to populate the `initrd' with exactly the same files as included in the `mbxroot.min.tgz' example. [This is what I'm testing with, additionally I have only added a link `/linuxrc' which points to `/bin/sh']. What might be missing? I'm sure it's just a minor detail, however critical :-( TIA, Wolfgang -- Phone: (+49)-89-95720-110 Fax: (+49)-89-95720-112 wd@denx.muc.de Office: (+49)-89-722-27328 Wolfgang.Denk@ICN.Siemens.DE He who hesitates is not only lost, but miles from the next exit.
