unable to execute linux kernel with Redboot


Hi,

I'm unable to run a linux kernel from the Redboot bootloader. I'm using a XScale board through a serial port.

First I load the zImage into memory with the "load" command. Then I give the "exec" command. This doesn't do anything and I have to reset the board. I've been trying to find a solution and some people speak of an entry point for the linux kernel. My redboot manual states this to be 0xc0008000 for the SA1100, but since this processor is similar to the XScale I tried that one.
Here's the command I give:


RedBoot> exec 0xc0008000 -c "console=ttyS0,115200n8"
Using base address 0x00017c00 and length 0x000b1660

Then nothing happens.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? The redboot manual doesn't give me any more information.

kind regards
Jan
