Hi ,
i m using 2.4.19-rmk7 kernel with u-boot. while power up my board i can able to see the following .
U-Boot 1.1.1 (May 27 2004 - 12:22:57)
U-Boot code: 00F80000 -> 00F91500 BSS: -> 00F92A10 RAM Configuration: Bank #0: 00000000 16 MB Flash: 32 MB In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 ## Booting image at 50040000 ... Image Name: Linux Kernel Image Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 707682 Bytes = 691.1 kB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ... OK Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK
Starting Kernel ...
I am very newbie to ARM platform. i dont know what is Load Address, and Entry point, where should i find in my kernle source ?. should i load ramdisk before kernel booting ?. i have set the follwoing Environment variables.
bootargs=root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=cramfs console=ttyS0,115200 bootcmd=bootm 50040000 bootdelay=3 baudrate=115200 ethaddr=08:00:3e:26:0a:5b ipaddr=192.168.0.21 serverip=192.168.0.250 netmask=255.255.0.0 stdin=serial stdout=serial stderr=serial

As mentioned before in private email, these addresses are definitely wrong on ARM.

Search the archive. This has been discussed several times before.
should i load ramdisk before kernel booting ?. i have set the follwoing Environment variables.
bootargs=root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=cramfs console=ttyS0,115200
As your root device is on a MTD partition, you should not load a ramdisk at all.
