We are trying to boot linux on a zedboard and monitor all memory accesses through Programmable Logic. We're first trying to boot linux with a start address above 0x40000000 with:
$ make ARCH=arm UIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x48008000 uImage
So far, we're getting:

It looks like Linux hangs after trying to enable the mmu with the command:
mcr p15, 0, r0, c1, c0, 0 # write control reg
within arch/arm/kernel/head.S.
How can I get this to work?

So my question is:
Is there a way for me to version my kernel when I build it s/t I can set the 'Image Name' so that I know its my kernel being loaded and not some type of Legacy Image??
Perhaps the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION-option of Linux kernel .config-file will help you.
From the Kernel.org:
Keep a backup kernel handy in case something goes wrong. This is
especially true for the development releases, since each new release
contains new code which has not been debugged. Make sure you keep a
backup of the modules corresponding to that kernel, as well. If you
are installing a new kernel with the same version number as your
working kernel, make a backup of your modules directory before you do
a make modules_install.
Alternatively, before compiling, use the kernel config option
“LOCALVERSION” to append a unique suffix to the regular kernel
version. LOCALVERSION can be set in the “General Setup” menu.
So during the kernel configuration you can add some clear suffix to your kernel e.g. CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-test_some_stuff".
Some useful links: 1 and 2.
I have a RT5350F router device (Hardware is almost the same as Nexx WT1520). It used to run Zyxel Keenetic 4G II firmware, and now I decided to reflash OpenWRT to it.
I tried a lot of versions, and all of them don't boot any further than this:

I reflashed U-boot as well, which didn't really help.
Some other OpenWRT firmwares boot, but crash right away, saying "Not enough RAM".
We have created, following the instruction on wiki-xilinx-linux web page, a system Zybo + embedded linux kernel (I want to remark that we didn't use PetaLinux but we have built all the file with the Xilinx tools).
When we turn on the system everything works fine and this is the output at the boot time:

It is clear that there is an error with the "mounted filesystem":
zynq> EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) on device 179:2.
Trying to move old root to /initrd ... /initrd does not exist. Ignored.
Unmounting old root
Trying to free ramdisk memory ... failed
devtmpfs: error mounting -2
Why does this happen? Why before I can do everything with the system and, suddenly, I have a crash? Yes, the system crashes when I am doing nothing on it and not when I am working with it.
Are there some advice to solve this? to not to have anymore these crashes?
From the Linux Kernel Command line I can see "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2" and also the target is started with initial ramdisk image "uramdisk.image.gz". So the init process or scripts inside ramdisk image should be responsible to mount the real file system from SD i.e. from /dev/mmcblk0p2 and remove the used memory of ramdisk. To narrow down the problem, you need to analyze the steps taken in ramdisk image to mount the real filesystem and make sure you have the proper RFS flashed inside SD in /dev/mmcblk0p2. I can also seen some missing directories to mount the /dev/mmcblk0p1 and /dev/mmcblk0.
++ Mounting filesystem
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /mnt failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0 on /mnt failed: No such file or directory
In simple words, check the init scripts inside the ramdisk image and make sure the RFS is mounted properly.
I'm trying to setup a ramdisk for a setup I have with AT91SAM9261 and 2.6.30 kernel.
I know you would say why don't I use initramfs? I will use also that one, as of now I would like to check if I can boot with a ramdisk as rootfs.
I have already a root fs running fine on this system in jffs2 format.
I used below tutorial:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-initrd/
So I created the ramdisk directly on the embedded target, with 4MB size.
I used "dd" and "mkefs" and the ramdisk image works fine if I mount it as loop when rootfs is my jffs2.
I can browse mount_point and do stuff inside.
The content was created according to the section "Manually building initial RAM disk" in the above link.
In /dev I placed null and console, in /bin I copied busybox and created the links.
I set the execute attribute to init script as well, which works fine when I run it here (as loop device with jffs2 as rootfs)
In my kernel config I enabled ramdisk support as follows:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y
CONFIG_RD_GZIP=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT=16
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=4096
Using tftp I download the ramdisk image to 0x21100000.
At 0x20008000 I have the kernel uncompressed and at 0x22000000 the zImage copied.
However, I'm not able to boot successfully the system as it hangs when checking init process.
As I mentioned, I checked several times that my init can be executed,
I also used in the bootargs init=/bin/busybox or other scripts/binaries to check if any can be used as init.
Command line I use now:
bootargs=64M console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram0 rw
initrd=0x21100000,4194304 init=/init
For some I set ownership to "nobody" just to check if it makes any difference.
As it can be seen in the log output the ramdisk is mounted, but init fails.
It gives a warning to check the ext2 image, which I did before copying it and I have no error reported.
The tftp server is on Windows7. I though I might have some incompatibility if I copy the ramdisk image from linux to Windows then do tftp from Windows server.
So I copied the image again from Windows to linux, mounted it and checked if the FS reports any error and scripts can be executed - everything looks normal.
So I do have all files in place, attributes set, ramdisk is reported as being mounted ok as rootfs, but init cannot be found.

I plan to rebuild busybox and try again, but as my current ramdisk image works when I mount it as loop I don't have too much confidence it will change something.
I'm out of ideas. I've been trying the whole day to get this working.
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
Missing libraries were the root cause for the non-executable init placed on the ramdisk.
Using chroot turned out to be extremely useful. With this issue I learned how to use chroot and simulate a jail.
Another trick was to use user_debug=31 in the command line so that the kernel will output a message saying that the file is not found.
It looks like the "file not found" does not really point to a missing file, but to a failure to read the file system due to busybox not executing properly (missing libraries).
In parallel I have compiled dynamically the busybox 1.20.02 for my arm architecture and the ramdisk worked properly (without libs).
This user_debug=31 turned out to be again useful when I compiled and ran busybox, as it was also failing after mounting the ramdisk, but it thrown out an "undefined exception" which led me to a wrong "arch" value used for compiling busybox. After changing it everything was fine.
I am working on building an linux for powerpc 8641d board. My U-boot has been modified to recognize 1 GB of memory(RAM) and it does. But Linux 2.6.28 crashes when mem=1024M is passed as boot parameter from u-boot. I have specified the memory size as 0x40000000 (1GB) in DTS file. Can any one help me to findout the reason?
But the same Linux image works when I specify bootargs as 'mem=256M'. But OS idetifies the total memory of 256MB only but I want it to identify complete 1GB memory.
Here is the dump of linux boot: ** It hangs at this point:
