Hi, Benjamin Herrenschmidt writes:Can't uboot load the ramdisk separately like yaboot can ?Duh, I must have misunderstood this then. So uboot is the bootloader for AmigaOne? Then it should be taught to load an uncompressed kernel and a separate ramdisk from a real root filesystem. Also, it should be packaged for Debian, probably in a separate package from the other PowerPC bootloaders.
No, Ben is the one who misunderstood. U-Boot is FIRMWARE, not BOOTLOADER. Putting OS specific filesystem code into FIRMWARE on a board that is currently running MORE than one operating system is more or less the definition of optimism.
Please, please, please do not waste any more time discussing that option. It's already crammed up with x86 emulators and whatnots ;-)
