Hi all,

I have pull the latest git from "http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git;a=summary". But couldn't find config file for overo . So I used "omap2plus_defconfig" and made sure the overo board is selected.

But the board didn't boot. It stopped after uncompressing kernel .

Bytes transferred = 3011064 (2df1f8 hex)
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 82000000 ...

   Image Name:   Linux-2.6.38-rc2-13606-g448e9a6-
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
   Data Size:    3011000 Bytes =  2.9 MB

Load Address: 80008000
Entry Point: 80008000
Verifying Checksum ... OK
Loading Kernel Image ... OK
OK

Starting kernel ...

Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel. <---- Hangs after this.

Does the mainline has the support for overo board. Or am I missing something.

Last I checked it was working. Maybe you need to change bootargs ? At least console has changed from ttyS2 to ttyO2, care to change that and check ?

You'll have to change the bootargs to reflect the change in serial ports from ttyS to ttyO, that's why it appears to hang. This change was made to linux-2.6.37 onwards.

Apart from that you will have to change the /etc/inittab file as follows:
O:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 ttyO2
