Hi,
I am using a very basic V2p7 AFX 456 board, from Xilinx. It doesnt't
have an ethernet port or flash, so I usually remove those too. I leave
the gpio in, as there are 8 on-board LED's. And 8mb of SDRAM, where i
download the image.bin. It looks like I do everything the same as you!
One thing which is curiouis is sometimes the XMD console will report
EDK Error - when the kernel is trying to boot. This leads me to
beleive the MB is trying to write something to the XMD console...by any
chance is it possible the system starting up is trying to use the XMD
uart as the console after boot?
Regarding hyperterminal - if you scroll up more than one page, it
always mangles the "history" of what it displayed. I don't know why!
Also, I dont think xon/xof should be used, as I beleive the uartlite
does not support hardware flow-control...
Cheers,
John

John,
Suprisingly I did not do a whole
lot.
I run an update on my kernel and dist directories. I then made
sure my auto-make file was up to date in the kernel architecture
microblaze
directory. Once I had this I built the kernel with as little
as possible. I took out the ethernet, flash, and gpio drivers. I
also changed the mdm from the flash driver to the generic uclinx rom
driver.
then I ran the make dep and make and then booted thejimage.bin file
through xmd. My commands I used where dow -data images/image
0x80000000
and then con 0x80000000. Simple as that. But I am still having
the issue that is will nto let me login now. So if it keeps doing
this I may still go back and try an older kernel download. Also what
board are you using?

Hi
It seems like you got past the previous problem you were having,
detailed
in the "booting uclinux" thread. How did you do this? I am still
"hanging" at the line
uclinux[mtd]: root filesystem index=0
VFS: Mounted root (romfs filesystem) readonly.
Freeing init memory: 32K
Can you help?
Cheers

When booting the uclinux on a memec v2p board I get the results below.
But once it hits the login part I can not login. I have tried
root as the username and pass and jsut root as used and no pass and I
can
nto get it to login. Also there is the one fail listed and not sure
if that is causing me a problem or not. Also the only thing I changed
when I built the kerneal is I disable the ethernet and networking stuff
and the gpio driver and I also changed the MDM to the generic rom
selection.
All other option I left alone.
