Hi, I've successfully developed a kernel which mounts over nfs. Now I want to make a zImage.initrd. To do so, I've first made a ramdisk.image.gz and copied it to /arch/ppc/mbxboot. Then I made make zImage.initrd. After that, I've used mkimage to encapsulate /arch/ppc/mbxboot/zvmlinux.initrd to boot it with ppcboot.
When ppcboot starts booting, the following message is shown: ## Booting image at 00100000 ... Image Name: 2.4.4 for initrd on COM660 Created: 2002-02-05 14:37:47 UTC Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 888587 Bytes = 867 kB = 0 MB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ... OK Uncompressing Kernel Image ... Error: Bad gzipped data GUNZIP ERROR - must RESET board to recover Any ideas? regards Martin ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
