[U-Boot-Users] Booting problems for Integrator/CP+ARM920T

Hi,
I have an ARM Integrator/CP board(s) which
contains an ARM920T macrocell. I have been
trying to use U-Boot(1.1.2) to boot
linux2.6.9 (with a patch applied from ARM's
website) on this system. As i understand it,
U-Boot only supports the ARM926EJS macrocell
as the default configuration with the
Integrator/CP but i was hoping the same boot
process would work with the ARM920T macrocell??
The default kernel command string i use when
compiling/building/installing the kernel is:
CONFIG_CMDLINE="root=/dev/ram0 video=vc:1-2clcdfb console=ttyAMA0 mem=128M
ramdisk_size=17408 initrd=0x24500000,6980391"
I then generate the kernel image using:
arm-linux-objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment
-S vmlinux linux-2.6.9.bin
mkimage -n '2.6.9 Kernel Image' -A arm -O linux -T kernel
-C none -a 0x7fc0 -e 0x7fc0
-d linux-2.6.9.bin linux-2.6.9.img
I also generate a RAMDisk image in a similar way.
I load the U-Boot, kernel and RAMDisk images into FLASH at the
following addresses:
U-Boot image: 0x24000000
kernel image: 0x242C0000
ramdisk image: 0x24500000
Using U-Boot i set the bootargs variable as:
setenv bootargs root=/dev/ram0
However when i try to boot the kernel using 'bootm 242c0000 24500000'
i get the following message:
## Booting image at 242c0000 ...
...
Load Address: 00007fc0
Entry Point: 00007fc0
OK
## Loading Ramdisk Image at 24500000 ...
...
...
Load Address: 00000000
Entry Point: 00000000
Starting Kernel ...
Then nothing - the boot process freezes.
Does anybody know what i am doing wrong?? I have tried
numerous things such as copying the kernel image to RAM
and booting from there but i always get the same
message as above. Do i have to configure and build
U-Boot to support the ARM920T macrocell with the
Integrator/CP??
Any information greatly appreciated,
Regards,
Alan.
