Linux 2.6

Hi,

I'm getting this same behaviour after following the Quick Start Guide.

I'm using a Stratix board (1s10) with the ethernet and USB Blaster connected (nothing else is connected except for power and LCD). I follow the instructions in the guide (upload the kernel first, filesystem second, and Nios third). I setup the kernel and filesystem *exactly* like the guide asked for. I uploaded the .sof file

<altera>/kits/nios2/examples/verilog/niosll_stratix_1s10/linux/linux_time_limited.sof

but I compiled the filesystem and kernel against

<altera>\kits\nios2\examples\verilog\niosII_stratix_1s10\linux\linux_1s10.ptf

I think the version of linux is (cut and paste from one of the readme.txt files):

"Microtronix Nios II Linux Distribution v1.3"

I&#39;m using Quartus II ver. 4.2 with Nios II dev. kit version 1.1

I tested both the board and console, and both appear to be working great. I uploaded the sample Nios system in the Getting Started manual and uploaded the Hello World program from the same manual. I used the console to connect to the built-in Nios system, and I observed the different DHCP messages and interacted with the simple built-in menu. No problems at all.

My best guess is, the kernel, filesystem and Nios are uploaded to the board correctly. The kernel must start running, because I get the same message that vgarcia observed, but perhaps the kernel halts or something?

Thanks in advance for any help. Please let me know if you need more information.

Joe.
