RAMDISK Problem

[Kamalesh B]

hello,

As suggested, i downloaded the "simple-ramdisk.PPCBoot" from ftp site
and also went thru the dplg.pdf file to know more about PPCBoot.

Iam working on MPC8260ADS and trying to boot linux-2.4.1 in a standalone
mode without NFS support.

I loaded both kernel image which was booting earlier with NFS system and
newly downloaded ramdisk at address 100000 and 200000 respectively. And
i also updated the bootargs environment variable as
---
setenv bootargs root=/dev/ram
ip=10.1.40.176:10.1.40.175:10.1.1.1:255.255.0.0:10.1.40.175::off
---

where,
target ip = 10.1.40.176
server ip = 10.1.40.175
gateway ip = 10.1.1.1
netmask = 255.255.0.0
host name = 10.1.40.175

I have checked ip addresses for correctness.

After all this, i gave bootm 100000 200000 command.

Output:
After loading kernel image and ramdisk image, it is hanging!!!
