Bernd CMIIW please Basically ACK. And please note that "kernel development" as such has nothing to do with "bootloader development" as such. > by the way there are many bootloaders to load and run the kernel on > your arm board .. check this: > http://www.simtec.co.uk/products/SWLINUX/files/booting_article.html Yup. Check with your boards description/manual/fact sheet which bootloader is installed (and I expect that one *is* installed since bootloader flashing needs special hardware) Personally I don't have any preference on boot loaders as long as they are -) working, -) reasonably cheap und -) support booting from the ethernet (if you have the hardware on the board).
