hello,
although you might believe at first this is not the right place for such a post ;) it seems to my humble personne u-boot is somehow involved in my problem. (read: probably something I did wrong!)
I download an elf image of the kernel through the command tftp "image.elf". The sections are relocated by the command bootelf which then passes the entry point to which the program counter jumps. Everything seems to go on fine until the zImage gets uncompressed. The ppc405 hangs at the inflate_blocks function. Now what seems weird is that using a debugger and slighlty modifying the bootelf function to return right after the load_elf_image function and then issuing the command "go 0x400000" directly from the debugger works! This means to me that the segments from the elf file are correclty loaded but that issuing the u-boot "go" command somehow alters the zImage or something... Any clue about this?
thanks in advance,
François-Xavier SEINGIER
