HOWTO port uClinux on coyote board...?

Using RedBoot as bootloader, and it works fine.
Now, I try to compile uClinux as its Kernel.
But have some problems....
coyote board spec:
32M SDRam, 16 MB flash.
Processor: Ontel IXP425 at 533MHz.
I compile uClinux without error messages.
but, when I try to load zImage and ramdisk.gz..
It didn't show any message....
What's wrong?
anybody can give me some sugession??

Re: HOWTO port uClinux on coyote board...?
still with redboot? or others?
Why do you want to use uClinux? for the IXP425 is a cpu with MMU
supporting. And uClinux is special designed for non-MMU systems.
please refer to arm-linux when do the Xscale working.

Re: HOWTO port uClinux on coyote board...?

SnapGear Linux contains both the original linux kernel and the uClinux kernel,
the glibc, uc-libc and uClibc libraries.
For the Coyote target, the default selections are linux kernel (since the ixp425
has a MMU) and glibc.
You can try using the other libraries if you want, but you won't be able to use
'uClinux' as such, since it's just for MMU-less processors.
