Hi, i am porting the "linux-2.6.28.7" kernel onto latest Freescale i.MX35 board.I am able to reach till initrd loading, after unpacking the initrd file, kernel calling the "run_init_process("/sbin/init/")" function.After this kernel is giving panic.I am unable to proceed further from this point,can any one please tell me what could be the problem? Below are the booting message sequence.Also can any one share the link to build "initrd" file for ARM platforms?
