linux on virtex 2 pro board

Aug 17, 2004 2 Replies

Hi All, I am trying to boot linux on virtex 2 pro P7-ff672 board. My problem is that I am able to boot the linux image(ppc) on bitstream generated by EDK



6.1 but not with bitstream generated by EDK 6.2 (SP2). Does anyone had similar experience ? I wonder if the problem is EDK 6.2 or I need to change my liuux image which should not be the case as I am using the same version of cores. Following is the only message I get on bitstream generated by 6.2 EDK.

loaded at: 00400000 0045D1E4 board data at: 0045A13C 0045A154 relocated to: 00405600 00405618 zimage at: 00405AFB 00459C4F avail ram: 0045E000 02000000



Linux/PPC load: root=/dev/nfs rw ip=on Uncompressing Linux...done. Now booting the kernel


While the same Image produce following message on 6.1 bitstream

Any pointers or suggesitions are appreciated.



Thanks raj


Raj,

just looking at the kernel command line I would say that these are two different Linux kernels. In one case you try to boot from NFS in the other from a RAM disk.

rajendra k s> Hi All,

ok, my mistake. I didnt tell that I had two linux image just to avoid any confusion. But I tried both the images (one with root=/dev/nfs and other with root=/dev/ram) and both hangs after "Now booting the kernel message".
