[U-Boot-Users] Unable to boot linux 2.6.25 with U-Boot 1.1.4

Hello everyone. I have got a modified u-boot source which boots vanilla 2.6.22 kernel, but is unable to boot vanilla 2.6.25.
The message I get is this : Uncompressing Linux.......................................................................................... done, booting the kernel.
Nothing shows up after this. The modified U-Boot version is "U-Boot 1.1.4".
Could somebody help. Thanks in advance Rohit

Activate in the linux kernel CONFIG_LL_DEBUG ( maybe ?! ) and check that the u_boot_board_id == linux_board_id

I am working on OMAP2420 (ARM 11) based apollon board. The board id in u-boot is ( in file board/apollon.c, board_init() ): gd->bd->bi_arch_number = 919;
The board id in linux-2.6.22, linux-2.6.25 ( as defined in arch/arm/tools/mach-types ) : omap_apollon MACH_OMAP_APOLLON OMAP_APOLLON 919
Thanks, Rohit

Sorry, missed that.. Don't sure about this particular CPU, but with Atmel's AT91 there was some migration to new serial driver interface. I faced similar problem when booting 2.6.25 kernel, but after studying some code - something related to serial was missing in map_io.
Kind regards, Andrejs Cainikovs.

Do you have CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ defined? If so, try turning it off.

Nope, it is undefined.
Thanks, Rohit

1.1.4 is too old to boot such a modern kernel.
No, it's not -- it should be quite capable of booting current kernels using cuImage. Passing a device tree is more questionable, if it's even supported at all.

To clarify, the above applies on powerpc. It seems the original poster never specified what sort of hardware was involved.
