[U-Boot-Users] need for explaination

[rameah nathan]

Hi All,
         I like to clarify one doubt ,when i try to boot my kernel using
ramdisk image via bootm command .I have back traced the cmd_bootm.c(Version
u_boot-1.1.6 in the common directory) our code flow hangs at the following
function:

  (*kernel) (kbd, initrd_start, initrd_end, cmd_start, cmd_end);

it's calling function pointer .It hangs at this call can any one help me out
where is the exact definition of this function call so that i can proceed
further.I think it should be in the u-boot side.It will be  of great help if
any one reply me ASAP in this regard.
Regards
Ramesh.K.V

That's the branch to the kernel.  Either you didn't load the kernel 
properly, or (more likely) the kernel simply isn't working, and needs to 
be debugged.
