dear grant As i said i'm using ELDK 4.0 root file system via NFS
ML403 gets IP address from DHCP , mounts the root file system via NFS and then simply stops printing messages on the screen. The board is alive because it answers ping requests. -- VFS: Mounted root file system (nfs filesystem) -- Freeing unused kernel memory :108k init ( No more messages after here , hyperterminal does not show anything more ) I have chosen my root file system to be /home/sadri/hld/eldk/ppc_4xx (/home/sadri/hdl/eldk is eldk installation folder ) /eldk/ppc_4xx/dev contains the following node: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 1 May 16 09:08 console and the last line for /etc/inittab is : # Run gettys in standard runlevels 3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear console in addition I passed the init=/bin/sh parameter to the kernel with no success. the link is auto negotiated at 100MBPS I'm using OPB UART 16550. I studied the ports by Mirek23 carefully and I know that his problem has been the definition of SDRAM size in xparameters.h , but this is not my problem. I checked that for EDK 9 it is correct. what is your idea? thanks mohammad sadegh. ---------------------------------------- > Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 10:58:28 -0600 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: ML403 2.6 kernel, root file system on NFS, stops after freeing > unused kernel memory > CC: [email protected] > > On 5/23/07, Mohammad Sadegh Sadri wrote: > > > > Hi all > > > > I have studied the disscussion here mainly by Mirek32 (I think this was the > > name) but unfortunately the disscussion is finished without any suitable > > answer and solution. > > > > the 2.6 kernel comes up on ml403 with no problem, it gets an IP address > > from my DHCP and mounts the root file system from my NFS server , all of > > these are ok. > > > > Unfortunately , after "freeing unused kernel memory ", init , console stops > > working however the board is alive because it answers all of my pings > > correctly.
