I realize this could be posted to the linuxppc-dev also, but my kernel is running fine so I think it's a u-boot to kernel interface problem. I am able to pass a device tree to the kernel and get it to boot fine, and using NFS root also.
I can't get it to find my initrd ramdisk is my problem. A kernel image, zImage.initrd, works with the ramdisk image, so I think everything is setup ok with the kernel. I'm using a uImage and using mkimage on my ramdisk also for u-boot. I realize it could be that I'm just loading the images in the RAM such that when the kernel gets uncompressed it stomps on the ram disk. I have tried moving to other addresses without any luck. When I look in memory where the ram disk was loaded by uboot, I can see the image fine after the kernel has paniced because it didn't find the root file system. Is there something basic that I'm missing? Thanks, appreciate any help, John => bootm 0x1c00000 0x1800000 0x1000000 ## Booting image at 01c00000 ...
