trouble booting A1 with Kernel 2.6.x
« on: February 02, 2008, 10:05:38 PM »
I've tried both kernel 2.6.60.x and 2.6.8 from Ross Vumbaca's page.

I can use RawDisk to squirt the kernel into my Boot partition (RDB disk) which is MDH3B: (effectively a linux dd command in OS4).
however, once I'm in UBoot, and enter Diskboot 500000 0:3 0
and then type Bootm the boot process fails with a bad CRC error on both the 2.6.x kernels. Am I forgetting something ?

Magic, thanks for the advice !

And it really hasn't been made clear, but these new kernels might require a hardware-fixed A1 - the USB and IDE/Ethernet DMA corrections.


Hmm. I'll just have to find out won't I .. mine is an unfixed (afaik) A1 - at least the USB seems to be unfixed (but workable ;-) )

worked an absolute charm, thanks for the advice !
Just a few tweaks now (couldnt remember the format for the video card parameter, etc) then I can try to upgrade Debian Woody to Etch 4.0

Cheers Matt_H !
