Combine kernel and ramdisk image.
Hi all, I want to combine the Linux kernel Image and the ramdisk image.I had used the mkimage tool for doing this ./mkimage -A ppc -O Linux -T multi -C gzip \ -n 'Linux-2.4.4-2002-03-21 Multiboot-Image' -e 0 -a 0 \ -d /SELF/build/linux-2.4.4-2002-03-21/arch/ppc/ coffboot/vmlinux.gz:/SELF/build/ramdisk_image.gz \ /SELF/images/pMulti PMulti is the Combined kernal image .. wheni download it to the powerpc board using ppcboot I get this . bootm ## Booting image at 0010 ...

glibc 2.2.3 undefined reference
Hello everbody , I had been very unsuccessful in trying to run the application on linux kernel 2.4.4 I had compiled glibc-2.2.3 without the option --without-fp and hence used to get either illegal instruction or segmentation fault...when everi tried to run the application .theni read from the mailing list that glibc need to be compiled with the option --without-fp Now i have given the configure line as ./configure --host=powerpc-linux \ --enable-add-ons --with-headers=/kernel/include \ --without-fp CFLAGS=msoft-float -D_SOFT_FLOAT -mcpu=860 but still i end up with errors at link time rm -f ../libc.so.6.new /bin/sh ../scripts/rellns-h ../libc.so ../libc.so.6.new mv -f ../libc.so.6.new ../libc.so.6 powerpc-linux-gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -o iconv_prog -Wl,-dynamic-linker==/lib/ld.so.1 ../csu/crt1.o ../csu/crti.o `powerpc-linux-gcc --print-file-name=crtbegin.o` iconv_prog.o iconv_charmap.o charmap.o charmap-dir.o linereader.o dummy-repertoire.o simple-hash.o xstrdup.o xmalloc.o -Wl,-rpath-nk=..:../math:../elf:../dlfcn:../nss:../nis:../rt:../resolv:../crypt:../linuxthreads ../libc.so.6 ../libc_nonshared.a -lgcc `powerpc-linux-gcc --print-file-name=crtend.o` ../csu/crtn.o ../libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_debug_printf' ../libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_check_map_versions'../libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_nloaded'../libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_lookup_versioned_symbol_skip' ../libc.so.6: undefined reference to dl_profile_output' ../libc.so.6: undefined reference to `__libc_stack_end' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [iconv_prog] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usrsrc/glibc-2.2.3/iconv' make: *** [iconv/others] Error 2 * I really dont know how to move further ...any help fairly welcomed Thankyou Rekha ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.

linux booted on fads!!!!
hello all, Am happy to tell that linux booted up the problem was that the at the time of low level initialization the devices rs232,ethernet,irdn has to be enabled using the BCSR1 register ..simple right ;) but...kernel is hanging at this point ,, vfs:unable to mount /dev/ram0 rebooting in 180 seconds .. to solve this problem i downloaded the ramdisk image from the denx site ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/simple-ramdisk.image.gz. I put this image in /arc/ppc/mbxboot i did a mkimage -n linuxppc -A ppc -O linux \ -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 -d simple-ramdisk.image.gz. /tftpboot/ramimg then tftpboot 10 linuximg tftpboot 20 ramimg bootm 10 20 it hangs after verifying checksum ok Loading Ramdisk to 0035b000, end 0075b000...ok then no output :( how do i go abt this problem any hints ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
