Hello,

Could you tell me what does it mean that booting stops after:
Uncompressing Linux........... done, booting the kernel.

I load kernel using this command:
disk 0x400000 1:6;bootm

where 1:6 is partition with raw uImage.

Cheers,
mRon

It can mean quite a lot of things, including some horrible death of the 
kernel in very early stages of its initialization, but the most probable 
cause is that the kernel doesn't have a console to display messages to, 
as "booting the kernel" is the last message u-boot displays; whatever 
appears after that is from the kernel.

What are the complete parameters that you pass the kernel? Is it 
configured to use the same physical console as u-boot uses?

Hello! Ekhm...I am the person who mailed you yesterday about uBoot :). I 
successfully flashed the Lacie - I mean that now it recognises the 
flash. I am able to save environment variables, but it hangs after the 
message I previously wrote.

I have already tried:
setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda7 rw
setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda7 ro
setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200

//on sda7 I have Debian

combining with loading the kernel via these commands:

setenv serverip 192.168.0.46;
setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.80;
tftp 400000 sda6

//sda6 is raw image of original Lacie's uImage

Cheers,

I'm moving this conversion either to the linux ARM kernel mailing list 
or in private e-mail, as this is definitely not an u-boot issue.
