(I found similar references of using this file too). So here is what it says: name index baseaddr size memaddr entryaddr file kernel 0x01 0xA8030000 0x000D0000 0x80041000 0x80041000 openwrt-vmlinux.lzma rootfs 0x02 0xA8100000 0x006C0000 0x00000000 0x00000000 openwrt-vmlinux.squashfs In the image I am generating (with adrian's scripts), the baseaddr for kernel is as mentioned above 0xA8030000. But the baseaddr for rootfs is calculated as: rootfs->partition_baseaddr = kernel->partition_baseaddr + kernel->partition_length; which is not 0xA8100000. but a little higher than that. So I thought kernel is a bit too big. So I trimmed down the kernel a bit and hard coded the value like: rootfs->partition_baseaddr = 0xA8100000; But no success. And the kernel I am using is lzma'ed. I am not sure if the rootfs has to be squashfs'ed? cheers, Hiren Journey continues.... > > > >>> >>> -- >>> Pozdrawiam, >>> Maciej Milewski >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org mailing list >>> http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-embedded >>> To unsubscribe, send any mail to >>> "freebsd-embedded-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >> >> >
