Hallo Wolfgang,
I'm interested in booting a linux image from a USB memory stick. I configured u-boot (version 1.1.2) to provide me with the usb commands. I try to load the image with the following commands. usb rest
rest or reset?
reset, of course. Just a typo ;-)
Loading from USB device 0, partition 1: Name: usbda1 Type: U-Boot First Block: 32, # of blocks: 255456, Block Size: 512
** Bad Magic Number **
Ummm... the number of blocks is obviously bogus - 255456 blocks is 124 MB; I don't think that's the real size of your kernel image. Probably you made some error when storing the image to the USB stick.
Just played around with my usb stick and reduced the size of the first partition. When I now try the usbboot command the number of blocks is exact the size of the partition. Is there a special way of creating the image or can I use the same I use with the tftp command?
How did you write the image to the USB stick?
I tried to follow DULG -booting from IDE, Compact Flash. Maybe it was not a good idea... Copied it from my host to the stick. This is not the proper way?
Can you tell me which fs to use? I tried it with dos.
Mit freundlichem Gruß, Jonas
