Hi linux 2.4.x or linux 2.6.x means the linux 2.4 kernel series such as linux 2.4.20,linux 2.4.21........... and so on similarly for linux 2.6.x means linux 2.6.8 or linux 2.6.9,2.6.11 etc............. here i am providing the steps i followed while building the kernel :- *1) building tool chain* # cd / #tar -xjvf /home/prafulla/arm- linux-gcc-3.4.1.tar.bz2 #export PATH=/usr/local/arm/3.4.1/bin:$PATH *2)building kernel* #cd usr/src #tar -xjvf /home/guest/prafu/linux- 2.6.11.3.tar.bz2 #cp /home/guest/prafu/patch- 2.6.11-rc3-omap1.bz2 ./ #bunzip2 patch-2.6.11-rc3-omap1.bz2 #cd linux-2.6.11.3 #cat ../patch-2.6.11-omap1 | patch -p1 #make clean #make omap-osk-5912-defconfig #make menuconfig #make #arm-linux-objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux linux.bin #gzip -9 linux.bin #u-boot-1.1.1/tools/mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0x10000000 -e 0x10000000 -n 'linux kernel image' -d linux.bin.gz uImage.cc / / / once made this i have downloaded this image to the board by using the *kermit protocol through hyperterminal* . and in uboot i used the command *loadb 0x10000000* *here my bootargs are * *console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd rw ip=off root=/dev/mtdblock4 mem=30M * afterthat i copied to the flash using cp.b 0x10000000 0x100000 memory location in flash . and used *bootm 0x100000* then afterthat i got the *bad crc error* is this information is sufficient or if u want i can provide my configuration details also . is the configuration of kernel is dependent on u-boot. how it will effect ?? what is the effect of bootargs on kernel?? is there any relation between the bootargs and the bad crc check error ?? -- prafulla chandra.

Normally you can. There is nothing in U-Boot which would make it specifically dependent on a kernel version; on contrary, we try to be as generic as possible.
page they mentioned if u are using linux2.6.x then u should use uboot
1.1.2.
*why is it so *.
We don't know this kernel tree ... Ask the guys who wrote such a comment.
what would be the* problem if i use inbuilt uboot 1.1.1 for my board for linux2.6.x??*
We don't know your kernel tree or what it expects.
On the other hand, I've been using old versions of U-Boot (like 0.4.0) with 2.6 kernels without any problems.
- is that error " bad crc error " due to that only ?? or due to any
other
factor* .
We could be more helpful if you provided more information, like a *comple* log of your comands and all output. I speculate that you don't use a correct U-Boot image at al. What exact command do you use to build the kernel image, and what are the last 20...30 lines of output of this command?
Best regards,
