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
