uable to boot uclinux using u-boot.

Hi,

I am tring to boot uclinux's compressed image (vmlinux.bin.gz) using u-boot. u-boot gives me following messages and stops.

==>oadb 0x01800000 vmlinux.img# # Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x01800000 at 115200 bps...# # Total Size = 0x000c19de = 793054 Bytes# # Start Addr = 0x01800000

==> bootm 0x01800000# # Booting image at 01800000 ...

Image Name: Test

Image Type: Nios-II Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)

Data Size: 792990 Bytes = 774.4 kB

Load Address: 01000000

Entry Point: 01000000

Verifying Checksum ... OK

Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK

I am using a Nios Development board (EP1S10), microtronix linux 1.4.0 on windows platform and u-boot 1.1.3

thanks in advance...

    Hi slsnios,

    > u-boot gives me following messages and stops.

    Check your console setting -- your may have selected the JTAG uart (CONFIG_SERIAL_AJUART)

    )rather than the serial UART (CONFIG_NIOS_SERIAL_CONSOLE) in your kernel configuration:

    ---> Device Drivers

    ------> Character devices

    ---------> Serial drivers

    ------------> Nios serial support (NIOS_SERIAL [=y]

    ---------------[*] Support for console on Nios UART

    Regards,
