   Hello,
  
   I try to boot MontaVista Linux on Sandpoint X3 with PPC755 CPU.
  I make zImage.initrd for Sandpoint X3, and loaded it on the SDRAM at
  0x800000.
  I used bdi to initialize memory controller and load the binary image of
  zImage.initrd on the SDRAM.
  Although I don't use bootloader, I can read/write SDRAM without any problem.
  The only change I made is memory size change in
  arch/ppc/platform/sandpoint_setup.c file
  
   size = 128*1024*1024;   /* 128 M bytes */
  
  I also changed the size of memory in the boot parameters.
  
   However, the Linux doesn't seem to boot properly.
  The serial line keeps silent.
  It keeps running. When I halt the running with bdi, it is in
  "emit_log_char".
  Could anybody tell me what's possibly wrong?
  
   Thanks,
  
   Dong-In

  Don't know. Never ran into this problem.
  
  > 2. Does this problem depends on bootloader. Will u-boot fix it?
  
  Yes, it probably depends on the bootloader. More exactly, itt depends
  on the interface between the bootloader and the Linux kernel.
  
  U-Boot works fine if your kernel is configured for U-Boot. I  am  not
  aware of a problem that needs fixing.
  
  > 3. Does anybody succeded to use 2.4.18 with initrd? How?
  
  Yes, we did. Many times. We use  U-=Boot,  and  make  sure  that  the
  kernel interface fits.
  
  Best regards,
  
  Wolfgang Denk
