I can only speculate: probablky your doenload was not performed in binary mode, and/or the image got corrupted. Pleas make sure to verify the MD5 checksum of thr ISO image (or the MD5 checksums of the file son the CD). RH 9 is one of the platforms which are officially supported and tested. [BTW: you may want to switch to ELDK 3.1.1 anyway :-) ] Best regards, Wolfgang Denk -- Software Engineering: Embedded and Realtime Systems, Embedded Linux Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: wd@denx.de A dog always bit deepest on the veterinary hand. - Terry Pratchett, _Wyrd Sisters_
