Unable to boot 2.6.29 (and tot kernel) with 256k page size on katmai.

[Shubhada Pugaonkar]

Hi 

 

I am unable to boot the 2.6.29-rc8 denx kernel (and 2.6.30-rc4 tot
kernel) when I enable the 256k page size. My config file is attached.
The *same* config works fine with 64k page size. I have 2GB memory on
this board. 

 

Following are the steps that I took to enable 256k page size support. 

 

make menuconfig

Platform Support -->Disable "Using standard binutils settings"

General setup -->Configure standard kernel features(for small systems)
--> Disable "Use full shmem filesystem"

Kernel Options ---> Page Size ---> 256K

 

It gets stuck at the point shown below.

Am I missing any uboot env variable or kernel command line parameter?
This same config file seems to be working for our customer. 

 

Please let me know if any more information is required. 

 

Thanks in advance
