Re: Debian on SheevaPlug



Richard,

I am sending this post over the the Embedded Debian group where there should be a topic started on using Debian for the SheevaPlug.

However, the process just stops after having uncompressed the
kernel:

What are your bootargs? Have you told it you want it to use a serial
console (without which you'll get no output at all)?

I have:

console=ttyS0,115200
mtdparts=nand_mtd:0x400000@0x100000(uImage),0x1fb00000@0x500000(rootfs)
rw root=b301 rootdelay=5

(b301 is the first partition on the SD card; you should be aware that
there seems to be a problem with recent mainline kernels in that they
don't handle the SD card properly.)

I have essentially the same bootargs as you, including the console. If
I boot the kernel that Marvell ships, in exactly the same way and with
the same bootargs, everything works fine, and I can watch the kernel
loading on the console.

I have also tried running:


 setenv mainlineLinux=yes
 setenv arcNumber=2097

first, as Martin suggested, but that didn't change anything.
