Hi All,

I am using linux-2.6.25-rc7 distribution,U-boot-v2 bootloader and IMX27ADS target.I built uboot.bin from U-boot-v2 and it is working fine on IMX27ADS.
I want to boot linux kernel image on IMX27ADS.
I am using gcc-4.1.2 cross compiler toolchain.I am building uImage from the linux source.I am loading the image on target in kermit mode using serial communication .When i tried to boot it got stuck at starting kernel.I have attached the log file please find the messages here.
So please guide me where i am going wrong.It will be great help.

Hi,
pavithra ,
Dont try to use the latest gcc version 4.x.x for building your kernel of version 2.6.23 or higher. It doesnt work. use gcc version 3.2.x for 2.6.23 or higher. and in the kernel command line u mentioned as console=ttymxc0 i guess it should be ttyS0 . make that change, and are using nand flash mtd to load your rfs? if yes then make /dev/nor0 to dev/mtdblock0 or 1 depending on in which partition u load your kernel. and please check the .config of your kernel . it may some configurations which ur hardware might not support.so make these changes and let me know whether it solved or not. if u still av some problems after this u can mail me to sunr2007@gmail.com i will try to solve.
warm regards,

Hi,

Can you try with the latest kernel (2.6.27)?

We managed to boot MX31ADS using the 2.6.27: http://www.imxdev.org/wiki/index.php?title=IMX31ADS_Compiling_Linux_kern...
