Re: [U-Boot] trying to bring linux-2.6.32.3 from RAM?
The load address actually doesn't matter. You can tftp your uImage anywhere in RAM and then just give a bootm command. It will get the kernel and booting would happen fine. Though as I see in your bootargs you don't define a filesystem so kernel might hang there. Anyways you should be able to boot the kernel. Hope this helps. -Original Message- From: u-boot-boun...@lists.denx.de [mailto:u-boot-boun...@lists.denx.de] On Behalf Of ogara Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 2:49 AM To: u-boot@lists.denx.de Subject: Re: [U-Boot] trying to bring linux-2.6.32.3 from RAM?

Re: [U-Boot] trying to bring linux-2.6.32.3 from RAM?
Yes, but I think you need to load at address 0 instead of 0x8000, just like I load at 0x8000 instead of 0x80008000. My kernel is also compiled to start at an offset of 0x8000, just like yours, but I think the image has 0x8000 of reserved space at the beginning (so you load it to 0, but it starts executing at 0x8000). I don't think the bootargs are even coming into play - you're executing a bad instruction at 0x8008 because you loaded the kernel at 0x8000 instead of 0 (so you're trying to execute the uninitialized reserved space). Try changing your tftp command to load at 0 instead of 0x8000, and I think it should boot.

Re: [U-Boot] trying to bring linux-2.6.32.3 from RAM?
Rick, I have custom board with DRAM starting at 0x - 0x2000 so I could not load it to 0x8000 since I do not have that much memory. I noticed in your report that the load address is 0x8000 but the kernel image was built with: Load Address: 80008000 Entry Point: 80008000. I was wondering what does your bootm command line looks like and if yours bootargs look like mine?
