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?
diff --git a/common/fdt_support.c b/common/fdt_support.c index a7773ab..a69f001 100644 --- a/common/fdt_support.c +++ b/common/fdt_support.c @@ -215,8 +215,6 @@ int fdt_chosen(void *fdt, ulong initrd_start, ulong initrd_end, int force) } }
- fdt_initrd(fdt, initrd_start, initrd_end, force); - #ifdef CONFIG_OF_STDOUT_VIA_ALIAS path = fdt_getprop(fdt, nodeoffset, "linux,stdout-path", NULL); if ((path == NULL) || force)
With this patch Linux boots fine again with the Ramdisk ...
Do you know, why fdt_chosen() is creating a dummy entry for the initrd, when later fdt_initrd() is again called with the right parameters?
I think, we can drop this!
bye, Heiko
