In the older kernel, I'm using a "make pImage" and in the newer kernel I do "make uImage". I've also tried running the mkimage tool manually with various options to see if I could get a kernel to boot. iminfo says the kernel is fine and I get to the "Uncompressing Linux Kernel ... OK" stage but it stops there.
One more step to make it? OK.Pls have a look at ppcboot.h and YOUR_BOARD.h in LINUX kernel.The definition of bd_info structure in them should be compatible with include/asm-ppc/u-boot.h in u-boot. This is a FAQ in DULG,I guess.
Thanks. I've seen the FAQ and verified that include/asm-ppc/u-boot.h in U-Boot defines exactly the same struct as arch/ppc/platforms/evb405ep.h in Linux. I've gone so far as to just copy the Linux struct definition into u-boot.h, replacing the struct there with all the #ifdef's, rebuilding and reprogramming U-Boot on my system. That didn't help.
I'm really stuck. I know Wolfgang says I should just read the FAQs. I suspect it's something more complicated than that. If anybody here actually has an IBM 405EP evaluation board and can boot Linux using U-Boot on that board, I'd really be grateful if you'd contact me. I won't waste a lot of your time with stupid questions, but I think just a little bit of help would get me over this hump.
Thanks Jeff
