Hi all,
After failing to load with both Etherboot and ADLO, I tried to reduce the size of kernel to 192k bytes ( which can only boot and execute simple command ) to fit into my 256k rom. But after "Jumping to boot code", it reboots. Does that mean my ram initialization is buggy ? Thanks. Below is my log :

Have you just tried memtest first?
I am wondering if you do in fact have a dram problem.
