I'm having a similar problem to a question posted earlier with initramfs.
I'm using the 2.6.20 kernel, on a Xilinx Virtex 4, ppc405, no boot loader. I use a BDI2000 to load the kernel image directly into RAM (32MB). When I use a larger (4mb compressed, 13mb uncompressed) cpio archive for initramfs, I get a crc error when it tries to decompress it. When I use a small simple archive (30k), it works correctly and does not have the crc problem. I've tried a cpio.gz archive of about 2mb and still get the crc error. Are there any size limitations for the kernel and/or for initramfs? What else could the problem be? The kernel image is being loaded to an address of 0x800000 instead of 0x400000 since it has problems decompressing the kernel at the lower address, I'm told due to the size of the kernel image (5mb compressed). Could this positioning be interfering with the initramfs decompression? Where is the initramfs decompressed to? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike
