Now i have installed Debian. And the system reboots.
Fantastic! I remember somebody saying initrd has to be called ramdisk.gz but I missed it!
It goes automatic to the Redboot command. What should I do to get the system
to boot with debian.
Put the same 3 commands you used to boot into boot_script_data so something along:
fconfig boot_script_data
fis load -b 0x01800000 ramdisk.gz
fis load -b 0x01008000 zImage
exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 rw root=/dev/ram
mem=256M@0xa0000000" -r 0x01800000
Remember to press enter to finish entering mode and then say y to update the memory.
Mine fis list is the same as before:
EM-7210 ver.T04 2005-12-12 (For ver.AA)
== Executing boot script in 5.000 seconds - enter ^C to abort
RedBoot> fis list
Name FLASH addr Mem addr Length Entry point
RedBoot 0xF0000000 0xF0000000 0x00040000 0x00000000
RedBoot config 0xF1FC0000 0xF1FC0000 0x00001000 0x00000000
FIS directory 0xF1FE0000 0xF1FE0000 0x00020000 0x00000000
ramdisk.gz 0xF01E0000 0x01800000 0x003E0000 0x01800000
zImage 0xF0040000 0x01008000 0x00140000 0x01008000
RedBoot>
Interesting! So this means all other memory blocks are not important for booting.
Anybody, does this mean we should be able to free available MTD blocks to being able to fit a larger kernel??
