[U-Boot-Users] RAMDISK image in flash not getting mounted - Memec Powerpc405 board

[Shamile Khan]

Hi

I tried pRamdisk for ppc_4xxFP and ppc_4xx. I am not sure
of the difference between ppc_4xxFP and ppc_4xx. But just a
heads up. With ppc_4xxFP, I get the same results as for the
  
Simple Ramdisk-Image I used before i.e. after the boot
process I get no prompt on the screen. 
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). 

With ppc_4xx, I get these messages

Freeing unused kernel memory: 52k init
serial console detected.  Disabling virtual terminals.

I also have a question concerning Linux debugging with
abatron. I can set an instruction breakpoint (e.g at
start_here in the kernel) when I use a zImage.elf image but
the same breakpoint doesnt work when I use u-boot to boot
vmlinux.PPCBoot image. 

Thanks,
Shamile
