RAMDISK Problem

[Kamalesh B]

hello,

I have a problem in booting linux 2.4.1 with RAMDISK on MPC8260ADS using
PPCBOOT.

After downloading kernel and ramdisk (simple-ramdisk.PPCBoot) image to
RAM using TFTP application and giving bootm command, it just hangs.

As u people suggested to dump "log_buf" contents, i got dump indicating
that it is hanging after reading the command line options in init.c.

Iam stuck at this point.

bootargs command passed:
root=/dev/ram ip=10.1.40.175:10.1.40.176:10.1.1.1:255.255.0.0:shiva::off

Is there any problem with this command?

I have selected Ramdisk support during linux configuration settings. Is
there any other option i have missed?

thanks in advance,
with rgds,
kamal
