Ramdisk with wrong magic number

Ramdisk with wrong magic number

[Leiying Du]

Wolfgang,

   I downloaded your mini ramdisk. The file name is
mini-2048kB-ramdisk.image.gz. If I check the image that I wrote into the
flash, I will get an wrong magic number error. Do you konw what's wrong with
this? Thanks.

How do you "check" it? If this is by any chance  under  U-Boot,  then
you  should  read  the docs how to convert a plain ramdisk image like
the one you are using into a U-Boot  image  (hint:  use  the  mkimage
tool).

Best regards,

Thanks, James and Wolfgang. I forgot to use the mkimage to convert it.

All the best,

sash source code

[Prakash kanthi]

Folks,

Does anyone know where i can get the StandAlone Shell
(SASH) for PPC source code?

Thanks,
Prakash

PS: Even a BASH source which i can compile in static
mode should be fine also.

Did you try a search engine?

Did you try using the source RPM of your favoured Linux distribution?

You don't know where to find bash source? Try http://www.gnu.org/ ...
