Hello,

    I have a problem when I'm trying to boot Linux on my platform (PXA255 processor, Strataflash 0x0-0x00800000, SDRAM 0xa0000000- 0xa4000000 and FFUART ). I have compiled the Linux kernel (2.4.19)  for my board starting from the CSB226 port. 

I have created the uImage with the entry point and load address at 0xa0008000.

I download over the serial line the image at address 0xa1000000 and after I issued the bootm 0xa1000000 command, the u-boot decompressed the image, but "after starting Linux kernel ..." it hangs.

Does anyone encountered this problem?

Thanks,

Petre

I think this question is more related to a Linux group. U-Boot seems to do its job of loading the kernel but there might be other problems with Linux.

See the following list, it might be helpful:
