To make ramdisk I simply create a file, write 18 Mb of zeroes to it (with dd), create in that file ext2 partition and copy there files from ramdisk-arm.rd
So, what should I do to get a proper working ramdisk?
Hmm, is the expected ramdisk size big enough? I.e. a ramdisk_size=18500 on the cmdline could help here. (On the other side the according error message is missing, so maybe not.)
- Even more. If I create 20 mb ramdisk, I got this:
reading image.elf
26788224 bytes read ## Starting application at 0x00000000 ...
Than the booting hangs. Why so?
Just guessing, loading the ramdisk has overwritten u-boot? So you could try changing the load address in u-boot a bit and see if it changes something? bootstrap will start from anywhere, so you can use the same binary.
