Hello,
I have an AMCC 405gp board on which runs u-boot. I try to boot the Linux Kernel via network but can not. I download uImage using DHCPD/TFTP. Here is the minicom console output:
Type "run flash_nfs" to mount root filesystem over NFS
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
ENET Speed is 100 Mbps - FULL duplex connection (EMAC0)
Using ppc_4xx_eth0 device
TFTP from server 192.168.1.210; our IP address is 192.168.1.220
Filename 'uImage'.

Here the console is frozen. It's the point where u-boot ends up and the kernel code starts. I think I have a mistake in addressing. I don't have sufficient knowledge about uImage format and the kernel compilation process. I followed the steps through the ELDK documantation from DENX software for cross-compiling the linux kernel as below:
bash$ make mrproper
bash$ make ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- walnut_defconfig
bash$ make ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- uImage
Could anyone help me solving the boot problem?
