Hello Kumar,

I actually trying to boot a Linux 2.6.27-rc4 Kernel with a Ramdisk and actual u-boot on a MPC82xx based board. And what should I say, it doesnt work anymore :-(

Reason is the following commit:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commitdiff;h=2a1a2cb6e2b87ee550e6f27b647d...

After this commit, u-boot no longer deletes the mem reservation for the initrd in Flash, what stops Linux from booting.

So I did the following, but maybe there is a better way for it?

I don't follow.. can you provide a bit more info about what's going on w/your mem reserves and what locations the ramdisk is at.

The code should have been identical to before.
