Hello all,
I could use some of your insight into the elfboot stage. Appended to this message are two printouts of the elfboot process for 128MB RAM (which comes to a halt), and for 64MB RAM (which succeeds). It is jmp_to_elf_entry() in
src/arch/i386/boot/boot.c
that is unable to complete the set task for 128MB RAM. I suspect that the problem lies in the value of 'bounce_buffer' that is determined in src/boot/elfboot.c, but I fail to identify why a large value is causing any problem at all. The informational "Candidate bounce_buffer" is my addition at the loop end in get_bounce_buffer().
Since FILO never starts with 128MB, I cannot verify that the linuxbios_table indeed gets the expected last entry
Are you sure your second 64M are working correctly?
This could well be a ram init problem.
Which board?
