gunzip the file and see how big it is uncompressed.

Look in the kernel config for CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE and
see if it's 4096.    If so, doubling it may solve the problem.

Hope that helps.

Subject:  Linux on 8260 using ELDK..Help?!?





Hi Wolfgang

I got hold of a working ram disk image from Pete McCormick for the
MPC8260ADS Board and I still have the same problems with the intial
console. So this kinda proves that the problem is not with permissions
etc on my nfs system. The serial dump is shown below.

Ive also fixed up the uart.c functions that you had recommended (going
back to original code). If you can please give me some indication of
what I should be looking at. I've debugged that console register
functions and they all seem fine, the console is in CON_ENABLED state,
so I don't know what else could be wrong?

Regards
Flavio
