hi ! i need to use ramdisk for root for my embedded linux ppc board. is there some way that i can combine the images vmlinux and ramdisk image so that they cn be loaded by the bootloader as a single image ? the reason i need this is because i am using a existing loader which can simply download the image and execute it. please cc the reply to my email as i am not on the mailing list. regards, tulika _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

boot sequence in linux
i would like to boot linux (ported for a ppc based board) from ROM. This is how i think the booting should happen - Code in ROM should contain - - crt0.S (entry point in ROM code) - head.S (something like what is there is arch/ppc/boot/head.S) - other files containing code to download and decompress the vmlinux image in RAM. finally, when the vmlinux.bin.gz is decompressed and we jump to it, the entry point is arch/ppc/kernel/head.S is this correct ? regards, tulika _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Re: no virtual memory
actually i am porting linux on to a board previously using HCORUS operating sysem. That was using flat address space. I want to retain the MMU in linux. to set the swap size to zero, where should i configure that ? and in that case, what happens to KERNELBASE and KERNELLOAD - can i initialize them with physical addresses ? regards, tulika >From: Rik van Riel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: Tulika Pradhan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: no virtual memory >Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 00:26:08 -0300 (BRST) > >On Thu, 14 Sep 2000, Tulika Pradhan wrote: > > > i want to build a kernel without virtual memory support. this is > > for a ppc based embbedded system. i read somewhere that VM can > > be disabled by setting the swap space size to 0.

Otherwise you can use the normal Linux code base and simply run the thing without a swap area. regards, Rik -- "What you're running that piece of shit Gnome?!?!" -- Miguel de Icaza, UKUUG 2000 http://www.conectiva.com/ http://www.surriel.com/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
