Dear Christopher Beley,

I'm trying to gentoo running on the Media5200 but am running into issues getting my kernel to boot. I am able to boot the kernel that came with freescale's BSP for the device, but when I boot my kernel things stall after Uncompressing Kernel Image:
## Booting image at 00400000 ... Image Name: Linux-2.6.30-mpc52xx Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 2315154 Bytes = 2.2 MB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ... OK Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK
I don't see any message about loading the device tree blob here?
I'm not completely sure why my kernel isn't booting while freescale's is. I should have all the correct drivers enabled, but after uncompress kernel Image nothing shows up in the console or on screen (the freescale logo/u-boot screen stays on the scree n though). I tried increasing the starting address for kicks, but that made no differnce. I also tried doing something like:
Maybe you are using different image types?
tftp 400000; bootm 400000
but that gave me the same results as well.
Yes, I am using uImage and not cuImage.
With uImage, you need to load the device tree as well and pass it's address as argument to bootm .
Best regards,
