[U-Boot-Users] bootm shows Kernel info but reset

[U-Boot-Users] bootm shows Kernel info but reset

[Ingo Swieter]

Hello,

i have a problem starting Linux from U-Boot.
I compile my Linux-Kernel with the make uImage command
and copy it to my tftpboot directory.

With U-Boot i can load the image through tftp and the
bootm command shows the correct information. But after
a while, around half second, it restarts U-Boot again.

Do you have any hint for that problem?

Best Regards,
Ingo

[U-Boot-Users] bootm shows Kernel info but reset

[Leonid]

First, try to uncomment DEBUG in cmd_bootm.c - you may see useful output. 
Second, see how your serial connection is initialized - why there is no any output on console? What is command line u-boot provides for the kernel? 

Leonid.

Tried reading the FAQ? Why not?

[U-Boot-Users] bootm shows Kernel info but reset

[Ingo Swieter]

Hi Leonid,

i uncommented DEBUG but that doesn't
show to much information yet:
## cmdline at 0x007FFF00 ... 0x007FFF85

so i had a look at that address:
# md 7fff00
..    console=ttyS0,11
..    5200 console=tty
..    S0 root=/dev/nfs
..    ip=172.16.102.7
..    9:::255.255.255.
..    0::eth0 nfsroot=
..    172.16.102.78:/e
..   pdev/tools/ppc_8
..    xx rw.L;.2D..&.3

which show exactly the expected information, the command line
for the kernel.

[U-Boot-Users] bootm shows Kernel info but reset

Hi Wolfgang,

sorry for posting a HTML Mail.

I have read the FAQ but didn't find my problem solved there.
The Link which you gave me do not solve my problem neither, 
because there is no problem with uncompressing Linux, i guess.
As you can see here, my output looks like that:

# bootm fd000000
## Booting image at fd000000 ...
    Image Name:   Linux-2.4.25
    Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
    Data Size:    677865 Bytes = 662 kB
    Load Address: 00000000
    Entry Point:  00000000
    Verifying Checksum ... OK
    Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK
## cmdline at 0x007FFF00 ... 0x007FFF85

I have tried both, booting from flash and ram with the same 
result.
I also tried to load an zImage directly with the go command,
but that gives me just junk on the serial console.

I am realy sure, that the linux image can start, because a
zImage works with the old bootload 'planet core'.

But i have no clue what to check for differences in the 
registers, which can help me to find the problem.

Best regards,
Ingo

There can be a number of reasons to why it doesn't start. If you have  
access to JTAG/BDM, try debugging the booting image with GDB and see  
what you can find.
