Hi,
I have a very simple and somewhat embarassing question
regarding u-boot and loading a ramdisk. I am trying to
boot my IXP425 board using a kernel and ramdisk that
has been flashed on the board. I have tried following
the many suggestions that I have found both on the
web, and inside the documentation but still have not
had any success. I know the kernel and ramdisk image
are good, since I used the same images for booting
from Redboot. Below is a snippet of my boot sequence,
including the error when trying to mount the
ramdisk(initrd)
Thanks,
Mike
