I am having an issue with the linux kernel, where I can get it to boot every once and a while by power-cycling or pressing the reset button, the rest of the time it hangs after uncompressing the kernel: ## Booting image at 00200000 ... Image Name: Linux-2.6.15 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 1067371 Bytes = 1 MB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ... OK Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK Could this be a memory issue (i.e. bad memory configuration)? Though, if it were a memory issue, wouldn't the kernel fail to uncompress successfully? Does anyone have any ideas why it would work about once every 10 - 20 resets? Thanks, Jeff Stevens __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
