[U-Boot-Users] Linux Hangs

My Name is Ganesh Ramachandran. I have a Problem in U-Boot Loaders. As Follows,



I am using ARM Integrator CP Configuration for U-Boot Loader. I am
using ARM Real View Simulator and Real View Debugger. My kernel
Version is 2.6.16 and U-Boot Loader Version is 1.1.4.



I am attaching my Configuration Header File with this mail. Just have
a look. I am using ARM Cross Compiler for creating U-Boot Loader
files( u-boot.Bin, u-boot). That was getting created successfully.



I am using AFU.axf utility to dump the root file system and kernel. I
am getting the following messages in Telnet while executing..



U-Boot 1.1.4 (Mar 28 2006 - 19:02:25)



U-Boot code: 01000000 -> 010134B0  BSS: -> 01016F98

RAM Configuration:

Bank #0: 00000000 16 MB

Flash: 16 MB

*** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment



In:    serial

Out:   serial

Err:   serial

Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0

Integrator-CP # bootm 0x24040000

## Booting image at 24040000 ...

   Image Name:   Linux-2.6.16

   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)

   Data Size:    1093092 Bytes =  1 MB

   Load Address: 00008000

   Entry Point:  00008000

OK



Starting kernel ...



Uncompressing Linux.......................................................................
done, booting the kernel.



After that Linux Gets hanged. I read the FAQs from several websites,
They said me to do following changes,



* Check the IMAP_ADDR, CFG_IMMR for same.

But I don't find any IMAP_ADDR or CFG_IMMR variables in my ARM
configuration files. Since, Both are not for ARM that I read in
another website.



* Check the Kernel Command Line.

      I gave root=/dev/mtdblock0 console=ttyAMA0 mem=128M for both
Kernel and Configuration files. And Root File system also has those
two files.



No other Comments gave any good information than above one. More They
above comment is also for PPC Version with Kernel 2.4.X and U-Boot
0.4.X. But I am using latest versions.

Please let me know where I am doing mistakes, Where will be the
problem persists.





Sorry for the inconvenience.



Thanks & Regards,



P. Ganesh Ramachandran
