TXW_MASK bit but nothing changed ...

I tried also ur second suggestion trying to boot
through ramdisk, with rootfilesystem in
ramdisk.image.gz and building kernel in pImage both in
Compact Flash.

It is working fine ( I have no idea of the
configuration and what args are passed by U_BOOt to
kernel) .. does this mean that there is problem with
root filesystem on my remote computer or does this
mean there could be a problem connecting to the remote
computer (Probably problem with BESTCOM as pointed by
Wolfgang Denk) ?????

I want to have the root filesystem on the remote
computer instead on ramdisk because i need to add
applications into the root filesystem in runtime.
