[oe] Kernel load address issue

[Bernard Mentink]

I have got a bit further now, I get:

-----------------------------------------------------
uboot> bootm 80400000
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 80400000 ...
   Image Name:   Angstrom/2.6.36/mx31ads
   Created:      2011-07-26  22:30:37 UTC
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
   Data Size:    1765848 Bytes = 1.7 MiB
   Load Address: 80400000
   Entry Point:  80400000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   XIP Kernel Image ... OK
OK

Starting kernel ...
----------------------------------------------------

And there it hangs ... I don't know who printed out the "Starting
kernel" was it uboot or the kernel?
If uboot, how do I pass kernel arguments (i.e the console serial params)
with this method of booting?

(I am using: " dhcp 0x80400000 IP:file" followed by the above bootm .. )

Thanks,
Bernie

Hi Martin,

Thanks for that (and to Gary for the same answer) ..

By the way, where do I find this sort of information out? I especially
would like to know how to configure the kernel, modify source code etc,
Within the openembedded system ..

Are there some good "howto's" out there?

Thanks,
Bernie

in your case probably
conf/machine/mx31ads.conf or something like that

I meant ${MACHINE}.conf and machine.conf was just example, sorry I
wasn't clear.
