That's really difficult to read as your mailer wrapped long lines so it's pretty difficult to see where one definition ends and where the next one starts. Please fix your mailer NOT to wrap linwes when posting code like here. > doboot=run bootlinnfs > bootlinnfs=bootoctlinux 17c00000 mem=2048 coremask=0x003 root=/dev/nfs > rw nfsroot=10.32.89.176:/QSCOPE1GIG2a > ip=10.32.89.175:10.32.89.176:10.32.89.1:255.255.255.0:qscope_xx:mgmt0:off > ${mtdparts} > bootlindisk=bootoctlinux 17c00000 mem=2048 coremask=0x003 root=/dev/sda1 > rw ${mtdparts} > bootqos=bootoct 18c00000 coremask=0xFFC heap=0x800000 stack=0x800000 ... > mtdparts=mtdparts=phys_mapped_flash:384K(uboot),128K(ubootenv),32256K(user);user_flash:16384K(kernel),16384K(spirentqos) > > Environment size: 1649/131068 bytes > VadaTech AMC22x# run doboot > run doboot > argv[2]: mem=2048 > argv[3]: coremask=0x003 > argv[4]: root=/dev/nfs > argv[5]: rw > argv[6]: nfsroot=10.32.89.176:/QSCOPE1GIG2a > argv[7]: > ip=10.32.89.175:10.32.89.176:10.32.89.1:255.255.255.0:qscope_xx:mgmt0:off > argv[8]: mtdparts=phys_mapped_flash:384K(uboot),128K(ubootenv),32256K(user) > ELF file is 64 bit > (rest omitted...) Hm... it seems you are running some prorpietary code here. The mainline version of U-Boot does not know any such commands as "bootoctlinux" or "bootoct". > The mtdparts argument to the kernel has been cut off at the semicolon. > So what should I put in the value of the mtdparts environment variable > so uboot does not eat the semicolon? I'm sorry, but I don't know what sort of argument handling is implemented in the "bootoctlinux" command, and if or how variable sustitution is implemented on these arguments. Normally the "mtdparts" settings are part of the "bootargs" variable that gets passed to the Linux kernel. As you are using unknown, proprietary code here there is little we can do to help.
