So it's not finding "init" on your filesystem. Usually this is an
executable in "/sbin/init", although obviously you can change this with
compilation options, or by passing "init=/sbin/somethingelse" or
whatever to the kernel in your boot loader.
My guess is that you've managed to put an empty filesystem on the
machine. It's managing to find the filesystem, and mount the root
filesystem, but not load the init process.
When I was debugging my SAM-BA loading scripts I tried
replacing single bits with my own stuff: Load my own kernel, leave
their initial boot loader, u-boot and filesystem in place, then load my
filesystem as well, and so forth.
A little later I'll dig through the Windows machine and see if I can
find some of my TCL scripts which handled my own U-boot, which were
derived from ones that someone else in this list was kind enough to
send me.

Hi,
here is the complete debug message starting from Romboot. Can any one help
me what could be the reason the for kernel booting to stop in between?

Hi,
Now I am able to bring the U-boot up. I used a demo batch runner available
at the below link: ftp://www.at91.com/pub/demo/linux4sam_1.7/linux4sam-buildroot-at91sam9263ek.zip
I replaced the kernel bin file by my uImage file and modified the tcl script
to load uImage. I used the bootstrap, u-boot, jffs2 file system files
'as
is' from the package. please note that only the data_flash configuration
worked. There seems to be some issue with NAND flash booting (errata sheets
to explain the issues are available in the net).
After having U-boot up, then kernel image was loaded to the SDRAM to boot
up, but the booting gets stuck in between printing the following error
messages on the serial console. Any input on this is appreciated.
please let me know this requires any changes in the .config file to correct
the problem?
============== END of CONSOLE MSG =================
regards,
susan.

Right. ROMBoot will go look at your various devices and attempt to load
a boot image off of each of them.

Correct. I've always just loaded my kernel image and root filesystem
via SAM-BA rather than using the network, but I've seen U-boot done.
One possible issue: As I mentioned in another email, the parts on our
AT91SAM9261-EK devices were "A" stepping and wouldn't boot off NAND
flash, so I put U-boot in the dataflash for testing. As someone else
mentioned, check the errata for your parts.

hi,
i am using at91SAM 9263EK eval board (Rev B). I have compiled the linux
kernel 2.6.30 with at91 patches. was able to create uImage using mkimage.bin
the board has 8MB dataflash and a NAND flash.
now that while doing some experiment with SAM-BA, I erased both NAND and
data flash. If i restart the board, I see "ROMBoot >" on the serial debug
console.
any info on how to bring the board up?
I guess the BootROM code is in ROM portion of the controller and is never
erasable. I understand from the linux4sam web site that the AT91 boot strap
and U-boot are to be loaded to NAND flash using SAM-BA to start with. This
way you can further FTP the linux image and bring the board up. please
correct if i am wrong.
can I do away with data flash and every component in NAND flash only?
