Hi, I experimenting with different boot arguments to make the 2.6 kernel boot on the DB1500 board (with the AU1500 MIPS processor). Along with the image, the make also generated a /usr directory containing the initramfs_data.cpio.gz and other files, namely: CVS Makefile gen_init_cpio initramfs_data.S initramfs_data.cpio.gz initramfs_list Kconfig built-in.o gen_init_cpio.c initramfs_data.cpio initramfs_data.o During the configuration, 'Create Root File System' was selected in the xconfig menu. Therefore, I think using NFS is appropriate. In the boot args, I ve written the following: root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.8:/tftpboot/usr_as/initramfs_list console=tty0,115200,n,1,none ip=xxx.xxx.x.146:xxx.xxx.x.8 (client: server) Please help me out here-- Thank you.. Ashlesha.
