hello, As suggested, i downloaded the "simple-ramdisk.PPCBoot" from ftp site and also went thru the dplg.pdf file to know more about PPCBoot.
Iam working on MPC8260ADS and trying to boot linux-2.4.1 in a standalone mode without NFS support. I loaded both kernel image which was booting earlier with NFS system and newly downloaded ramdisk at address 100000 and 200000 respectively. And i also updated the bootargs environment variable as --- setenv bootargs root=/dev/ram ip=10.1.40.176:10.1.40.175:10.1.1.1:255.255.0.0:10.1.40.175::off --- where, target ip = 10.1.40.176 server ip = 10.1.40.175 gateway ip = 10.1.1.1 netmask = 255.255.0.0 host name = 10.1.40.175 I have checked ip addresses for correctness. After all this, i gave bootm 100000 200000 command. Output: After loading kernel image and ramdisk image, it is hanging!!! --- Messages --- ## Booting Linux kernel at 10100000 ...
