Re: Help with booting Linux off my Redboot prompt

I have successfully built redboot for my IXP425 - can load redboot image store it in flash, npe's work fine and I can successfully tftp images down to my board from by RedHat9 Linux box.

I've built Linux kernels and a rootfs.

My compressed Linux kernel is zImage

and my compressed rootfs is rootfs.gz

I execute the following commands at my Redboot console

a) load -r -v -b 0x00800000 rootfs.gz ; load the rootfs.gz image @ 0x0800000

b) load -r -v -v 0x01600000 zImage ; load the compressed kernel zImage @ 0x01600000

c) exec

The resulting output is
Using base address 0x01600000 and length 0x000b73c0 (which is the correct size of the image)


However following that, I get nothing....

Any ideas how I can debug further... or should I be taking this to another alias...


Thanks!


Krishna

Try explicitly indicate what you want load from. exec -b 0x01600000 -l 0 0x01600000
