Hi,
I'm doing kernel porting to arm926 based FPGA board,very minimal setup
(uart + timer only)
I'm getting kernel panic after cramfs root file system is mounted,I am
expecting to enter login prompt after root file system is mounted.
Below are the details
#define PLAT_PHYS_OFFSET 0x80000000 (with 128 MB SDRAM)
#define CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET 0xc0000000
Physical memory : 128MB (0x80000000 to 88000000)
ZRELADDR = 0x80008000
PARAMS_PHYS = 0x80000100
INITRD_PHYS = 0x80800000
Kernel cmd line : mem=32M console=ttySAC0,115200 root=/dev/ram0
rootfstype=cramfs init=/linuxrc initrd=0x80800000,8M user_debug=31
I am not using u-boot and doing all the required initializations through
trace32 cmm script.
After compiling the kernel, when I load vmlinux(through trace32) at
0x80008000, the kernel runs upto mounting the filesystem(though there is
some issue in mounting the filesystem).
But when I load zImage at the same address i.e 0x80008000, I am getting
*Uncompressing Linux...*
* *
*uncompression error*
* *
* -- System halted*
in the console.
I made sure that I am enabling the config options CONFIG_XZ_DEC (xz
decompression support) through menuconfig.
I suspected on the cramfs memory location and then tried loading only
zImage at 0x80008000.,even after this the result is same.
Please let me know where could be the issue.
