Hello Jason Liu,

Is there a glossary for the defines used in the /include/configs/<board_name.h> files?

I find it far easier to just grep the code.

Hi,

I can boot my (powerpc 440gx) board as a "triple" uImage (kernel + external_initramfs + fdt) using tftp.

(external_initramfs here means an initramfs gzip'd cpio file archive that is not linked into the kernel as one file.)

I can also load the individual components and boot via bootm.

What I can't get to work is a "double" uImage (kernel + external_initramfs) and external fdt. "bootm uImage_addr - fdt_addr" panics when it attempts to mount the initramfs filesystem. I assume that is because bootm isn't passing the address of the initramfs to the kernel.

So, is there a way to do this? Is there a way to tftp the uImage and then obtain pointers to the two file components so that bootm could be supplied the address of the initramfs blob?

Thanks,

Marc Howard
