Also, here is the command line that I'm passing to the Linux kernel: console=ttyS0,38400 initrd=0xa1800000,4096k root=/dev/ram init=/bin/sh
The initrd= part should not be necessary (assuming that your kernel knows how to pick up a ramdisk from flash; this has been discussed here several times before, search the archives if necessary).
Linux version 2.6.12-RC4-InHand2 (greg@rh9dev) (gcc version 3.3.4) #62 Tue Jul 19 10:42:15 PDT 2005 CPU: XScale-PXA255 [69052d06] revision 6 (ARMv5TE) CPU0: D VIVT undefined 5 cache CPU0: I cache: 32768 bytes, associativity 32, 32 byte lines, 32 sets CPU0: D cache: 32768 bytes, associativity 32, 32 byte lines, 32 sets Machine: InHand Electronics Fingertip3 initrd (0xa1800000 - 0xa1c00000) extends beyond physical memory - disabling initrd
So your kernel does not know how to handle this. Fix it.
Any help anyone can give me to point out to me what is happening and/or what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
I've posted the required patches several times before (or see the archives, or this PatchSet in the linuxarm tree on our CVS server):
