Greetings, Is there a way making uboot use initramfs images instead of initrd ?
I have a glacier AMCC460GT PPC board. I generate my initramfs image from my rootfs directory as: $ cd rootfs $ find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../rootfs.img so I tried first to use the initramfs image directly => tftp 1900000 glacier/rootfs.img .. done => tftp 1000000 glacier/uImage .. done => tftp 1800000 glacier/glacier.dtb .. done => bootm 1000000 1900000 1800000 ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 01000000 ... Image Name: Linux-2.6.32 Created: 2010-04-06 20:10:00 UTC Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 1846014 Bytes = 1.8 MB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ... OK Wrong Ramdisk Image Format Ramdisk image is corrupt or invalid OK so this doesn't work then i tried packing the initramfs into a ramdisk image format $ mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -a 0x1900000 -n "ramdisk" -d rootfs.img rootfs2.img Image Name: ramdisk Created: Tue Apr 6 17:33:56 2010 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 3332660 Bytes = 3254.55 kB = 3.18 MB Load Address: 0x01900000 Entry Point: 0x01900000 => tftp 19000000 glacier/rootfs2.img still no luck => iminfo 1900000 ## Checking Image at 01900000 ... Unknown image format! Thanks Chip _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
