Why dont you print the first few bytes of the kernel before actually
jumping to the kernel in Ram. ie just before calling the BootKernel in
blob (main.c). If it prints 00 AE 00 AE 00. then the kernel has been put
in the proper place. Sometimes, it so happened to me that, the kernel
worked with angel boot and the same kernel did not work with blob [with
the angel option removed].
This way you can isolate the problem to blob or kernel. What i found
was, the stock kernel 2.4.2-rmk2-np1 dosent work on my assabet with blob
(with the angel option removed ofcourse). I removed all unwanted (for
me) options, like DOS file support, NFS, and a lot of others in the
kernel config, and the kernel started working with blob,.. its strange
but true.
Hope this helps
