<div>Hi</div>
<div>linux 2.4.x or linux 2.6.x means the linux 2.4 kernel series such as linux 2.4.20,linux 2.4.21........... and so on similarly for linux 2.6.x means linux 2.6.8 or linux 2.6.9,2.6.11 etc.............</div>
<div>here i am providing the steps i followed while building the kernel :-</div>
<div><strong>1) building tool chain</strong> </div>
<div> # cd /</div>
<div> #tar -xjvf /home/prafulla/arm-linux-gcc-3.4.1.tar.bz2</div>
<div> #export PATH=/usr/local/arm/3.4.1/bin:$PATH</div>
<div> <strong>2)building kernel</strong></div>
<div> #cd usr/src</div>
<div> #tar -xjvf /home/guest/prafu/linux-2.6.11.3.tar.bz2</div>
<div> #cp /home/guest/prafu/patch-2.6.11-rc3-omap1.bz2 ./<br> #bunzip2 patch-2.6.11-rc3-omap1.bz2</div>
<div> #cd linux-2.6.11.3</div>
<div> #cat ../patch-2.6.11-omap1 | patch -p1</div>
<div> #make clean</div>
<div> #make omap-osk-5912-defconfig</div>
<div> #make menuconfig</div>
<div> #make</div>
<div> #arm-linux-objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux linux.bin</div>
<div>#gzip -9 linux.bin</div>
<div>#u-boot-1.1.1/tools/mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0x10000000 -e 0x10000000 -n 'linux kernel image' -d linux.bin.gz uImage.cc</div>

<div> once made this i have downloaded this image to the board by using the <strong>kermit protocol through hyperterminal</strong> . and in uboot i used the command <strong>loadb 0x10000000</strong></div>
<div><strong>here my bootargs are </strong></div>
<div><strong>console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd rw ip=off root=/dev/mtdblock4 mem=30M </strong></div>
<div>afterthat i copied to the flash using cp.b 0x10000000 0x100000</div>
<div>memory location in flash .</div>
<div>and used <strong>bootm 0x100000</strong></div>
<div>then afterthat i got the <strong>bad crc error</strong></div>
<div>is this information is sufficient or if u want i can provide my configuration details also .</div>
<div>is the configuration of kernel is dependent on u-boot. how it will effect ??</div>
<div>what is the effect of bootargs on kernel?? is there any relation between the bootargs and the bad crc check error ?? </div>
