Replacing Kernel image suspends booting on "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel"

by Jaeyeon Kihm

Hi guys, Once I duplicated linaro-ubuntu-desktop image into SD card following the instruction on linaro website and it works fine. Now I need to patch the kernel so that I compiled the patched kernel and copy the kernel image into /boot of SD card but my pandaboard doesn't boot up. Below is more detail steps I did so please let me know what I did wrong. Also if you have an instruction, then it also might be really helpful. 1. I'm using PandaBoard ES. To start the board, I just dd linaro-ubuntu-desktop image to SD card following these steps ( http://releases.linaro.org/images/): # These values will change based on your system $ SDCARD=/dev/ #sdcard could be something sdb or mmcblk0 $ IMGFILE=overo-nano.img $ gunzip ${IMGFILE}.gz $ dd bs=64k if=${IMGFILE} of=${SDCARD} Then the linaro ubuntu works on the PandaBoard ES well. In detail, the version of this ubuntu 12.02 and kernel version is 3.1.1-8-linaro-lt-omap. 2. Next, I cloned your git repository(git:// git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ohad/remoteproc.git) to get kernel including remoteproc patch. Since there's no .config file I just copy the config file of 3.2-rc4 on here ( http://elinux.org/Panda_How_to_kernel_3_2_rcx) wihch is the version matching the kernel version on your git repository. And then I compile the kernel and modules to get an uImage and install modules with commands below (also explains http://elinux.org/Panda_How_to_kernel_3_2_rcx), and copy uImage to /boot on SD card and modules /rootfs/lib/ on SD card. I used arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc rather than arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc. Then compile like so: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=Path_to_your/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- uImage Then compile the modules like so: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/home/kenm/Panda/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- modules "Install" the modules to somewhere convenient: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/home/kenm/Panda/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- INSTALL_MOD_PATH=../testlib_omap modules_install 3. Then I put SD card to the Panda Board but it's suspending with the booting logs below.

Do you have any guess what I have missed or didn't do something? Any of your advise would be more than welcome. Thanks for your patches, and I really appreciate your consideration and help. Thanks, Jaeyeon

=== Pinctrl === * Mainly focused on help reviewing pinctrl core rework patches(near 30 patches recently submitted by Stephen Warren and Linus Walleij) for API rework, merging mux and config and adding different state support as well as pinctrl core dt binding support(in plan). === Plan === * Continue to help review pinctrl core patches since many of them are still not hit mainline * Adding pin config and DT support for MX6Q pinctrl driver after pinctrl core rework patches get upstreamed * Will spend some free time to add DT support for MX28 platform
