Hi, The instructions in 'http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Creating_a_Root_File_System_for_Linu...' works fine, I just did not configured the busybox as per this website. Previously, I used the default configuration of busybox (where all options are enabled by default). Now when I configure the busybox as per this above mentioned link, the ramdisk works fine. Closing this thread. Thanks & Regards, D.Giriprasad --- On Fri, 21/1/11, Giriprasad Deviprasad <g_pr21@yahoo.in> wrote: From: Giriprasad Deviprasad <g_pr21@yahoo.in> Subject: Ramdisk not working on Hawkboard To: kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org Date: Friday, 21 January, 2011, 8:30 AM Hi, I am creating ram disk as in : http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Creating_a_Root_File_System_for_Linu... I compiled the linux-omap kernel using (http://hawkboard.googlecode.com/files/linux-omapl1_ver1.tar.bz2), with the kernel parameters as described in the first link as above: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- uImage_v2 cp arch/arm/boot/Image_v2 /tftpboot/uImage_v2 Then I did: setenv bootargs mem=88M ip=dhcp console=ttyS0,115200n8 root=/dev/ram0 rw initrd=0xc1180000,16M ramdisk_size=16384 saveenv tftp c0000000 uImage_v2 tftp c1180000 rd-ext2.bin bootm c0000000 It errors: hawkboard.org > bootm c0000000 AIS U-BootLoader is already flashed Wrong Image Format for bootm command ERROR: can't get kernel image! any clues why? This from http://elinux.org/Hawkboard works fine, though, with the default ram disk on hawkboard.org: http://hawkboard.googlecode.com/files/linux-omapl1_ver1.tar.bz2 make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- distclean make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- omapl138_hawkboard_defconfig make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- uImage Regards, D.Giriprasad -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
