[U-Boot-Users] U-boot and booting linux image from IDE device
Hi - it appears as u-boot is working great for our board!
I have been doing tftp boots, and in a past project I used bootm because that board did not have an IDE device.
I read the README on installing Linux, and cannot find a section on how to get u-boot to boot from an IDE device/
Is it possible for u-boot to boot from an IDE device? If so - is the target the same as the target built my "make uImage"? How is the IDE device setup (i.e. partitions, and location of kernel etc...)
Thanks!

Maybe you should read the manual?
Is it possible for u-boot to boot from an IDE device?
Yes, of course. Or from a USB Memory stick. Depending on what is supported for your board.

Yes.

See http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/UsingPCCard - don't worry that the manual is talking about PCCards there; the same is true for any other device that is accessable through the "ide" or "usb" commands - like a harddisk
