Hello All, I built an arm-linux kernel and trying to boot it using QEMU. But it stalls after showing 'Uncompressing Linux...'
$ qemu-system-arm -M realview-pbx-a9 -kernel clfskernel-2.6.36 -initrd rootfs.gz -append "console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/sda1 rw ramdisk_size=32678" -m 256 -nographic Uncompressing Linux... To debug I tried adding few prints in QEMU code, it seems to be working I could see continues calls to cpu_exec() and cpu_arm_exec(). Then I added few prints around gunzip code in the kernel, the function zlib_inflate() is not returning. r...@prasad-desktop:~# du -sh clfskernel-2.6.36 1.7M clfskernel-2.6.36 r...@prasad-desktop:~# du -sh rootfs.gz 744K rootfs.gz r...@prasad-desktop:~# du -sh initrd-rootfs 128M initrd-rootfs r...@prasad-desktop:~# du -sh initrd-rootfs.gz 37M initrd-rootfs.gz initially I was using initrd-rootfs.gz (37M) as my root file system. I thought of creating one more rootfs with less size (744K). None of them is working. So the problem seems to be with the kernel image (zImage) but it is already very small (1.7M). Can someone please help? Please keep me in CC as I am not subscribed to the mailing list. Thanks and Regards, Prasad
