Hello,
apart from my troubles with enabling VGA_CONSOLE, I finally discovered that
some of my kernels did not boot because the initrd was loaded *over* the kernel.
PMON loads the kernel at the said 0x80200000 (address told by vmlinux, I
imagine). And it loads the initrd at 0x80800000. That leaves 6,3MB for the
kernel - my kernels were bigger.
I got a copy of the PMON repository, and there are these two lines in master:
pmon/common/bootkernel.c:
//rd_start = 0x80800000;
rd_start = 0x84000000;
So, I could rebuild pmon. How to do so? According to
http://dev.lemote.com/code/pmon I should know the 'target machine'. But I don't.
I have a Fuloong with loongson 2F.
Or should I switch to grub? Isn't that risky? Or as risky as updating pmon?
By now I've stopped using initrd at all. I can live without it, but I don't like
being forced to do so.
Regards,
Lluís.
