Hi Thirumalai,

    I am in bit of peculiar problem on booting linux kernel on my 

MPC7448-TSi108 based custom board. I am using u-boot 1.3.4 which was compiled on ELDK- 4.0. when i use bootp command to download the kernel image from the tftp server that was already working with other custom boards the kernel is not getting downloaded but if i am setting it to another environment variable i.e "> set ideboot bootp" and try to boot using "> run ideboot" this time the kernel image file is getting downloaded. kindly give me suggestion on this. i don't have any clue on what is happening ? The host system what ever i used for compilation is also same.

Post a transcript of a session which shows how bootp fails and how the "run ideboot" succeeds. Without this, we have no idea what "is not getting downloaded" actually means.

Apart from that this paragraph is the usual "why don't you use a recent U-Boot and toolchain and is the problem then still reproducible" paragraph? Hopefully, this relieves Wolfgang of writing at least one mail :)

Thanks Detlev
