unable to execute linux kernel with Redboot

- Subject: [ECOS] 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
