Ramdisk Question

Ramdisk Question

[Sangmoon Kim]

I am porting linux on a custom mpc755 board.
I used linuxppc_2_4 from montavista rsync,
and simple-ramdisk.tar.gz from denx ftp.
The kernel stops after the following messages.
...
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
Freeing initrd memory: 554k freed
EXT2-fs warning: checktime reached, running e2fsck is recommended
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 76k init
...

It boots well until execve("/bin/sh",argv_init,envp_init); of init() of init/main.c
Is there anything that I shouldn't forget to boot from ramdisk?

Thank you in advance.

This ramdisk image was build for MPC8xx systems; I never tested it on
a 75x. It probably does not work there.

You better rebuild your own image with binaries  and  librarioes  for
the 75x; let me know if you have problems.
