Dear Christian,

While trying to get Linux (2.4.19-rmk7-pxa2 and 2.6.7-mm7) start with a ramdisk on a xm250 board, i discovered, that uboot 1.1.1 seems to have a problem passing the ATAGs to the kernel.
...
It seems that the kernel recieves all tags u-boot provided, but not all are parsed. Which seems strange, since none of the parse_tag_*
Why do you think that U-Boot has problems when the Linux kernel is actually receiving all ATAGs?
functions in arch/arm/kernel/setup.c which are called by parse_tags(), can return something other than 0 which means that parse_tags() should read the next tag wich it doesn't.
Has anybody experienced something simmilar, is this a known issue?
It works fine (at least for 2.4.x kernels) on several boards; I didn't test 2.6.x so far.
How about adding a bit more debugging code to your Linux kerenl?
Best regards,
