Hi,

I use a smarttop and have build a armhf debian sid.
I get a Kernel Panic when trying to bootup.
Code:
[ 61.778532] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
[ 61.784561] [<c0031fac>] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0xe4) from [<c02976bc>] (panic+0x50/0x178)

Is this a known bug ?
Is there a workaround or a fix ?

Hi.

Have you tried using the ARMHF SD card image we have here:
http://www.powerdeveloper.org/platforms/efikamx/linux

If that works, try replacing the filesystem on it with yours and see if that boots.

The lasts tests give no success at all in armel also.

I upgrade multistrap from debian/sid and rebuilt my debian for armhf (sid) and armel (squeeze and wheezy).

I get errors and always get Kernel Panic at the ramdisk loading.

Hi.

How did you generate your kernel and initrd?
On Ubuntu (and Debian) you would do something like the following from within the kernel source directory:
Code:
cp arch/arm/configs/mx51_efikamx_defconfig .config

make-kpkg --revision 2011.06 --arch armel --cross-compile arm-linux-gnueabi- --subarch efikamx --us --uc --rootcmd=fakeroot --initrd TARGET
Where TARGET is the output from make-kpkg --targets which is probably just "kernel_image" (just linux-image-*.deb), "binary-arch" (linux-image, linux-headers and linux-image_dbg) or "binary" (full suite of packages).

You can change revision to anything you like.


Johan

I get them from efika.mx (armel) and from debian-ports (armhf).
With using update-initramfs to add mmc to the initrd I get these errors.

I will give another try with a custom build of kernel and ramdisk.

Still no success...

For the uImage mkimage, I use the following commad :
Code:
sudo mkimage -A arm -O linux -a 0x90008000 -e 0x90008000 -T kernel -C none -n "EfikaMX kernel" -d distro/p2/boot/vmlinuz-* distro/p2/boot/uImage
Image Name: EfikaMX kernel
Created: Sun Nov 27 11:15:17 2011
Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
Data Size: 2016820 Bytes = 1969.55 kB = 1.92 MB
Load Address: 0x90008000
Entry Point: 0x90008000
For the initrd mkimage, I use the following command :
Code:
sudo mkimage -A arm -O linux -a 0x0 -e 0x0 -T ramdisk -C none -n "EfikaMX ramdisk" -d distro/p2/boot/initrd.img-* distro/p2/boot/uInitrd
Image Name: EfikaMX ramdisk
Created: Sun Nov 27 11:15:17 2011
Image Type: ARM Linux RAMDisk Image (uncompressed)
Data Size: 2579713 Bytes = 2519.25 kB = 2.46 MB
Load Address: 0x00000000
Entry Point: 0x00000000
For the initrd loading, I use the following boot.script :
Code:
# This boot script loads the kernel and an initial ramdisk
# into memory, then runs them. The initramfs simply switches
# to the root file system on the SD card.
# --------------------------------------------------------
# Setup environment
setenv scriptid ***** Boot using initramfs *****
setenv kernel uImage
setenv ramdisk uInitrd
setenv bootargs initrd=${ramdiskaddr},32M ramdisk_size=32768 console=ttymxc0,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblkp0p2 rootwait rw video=imx-ipuv3-fb:1024x600M-16@60 lpj=3997696 rootfstype=ext4 earlyprintk=serial;
# --------------------------------------------------------
# Start the boot process
echo ${scriptid}
${loadcmd} ${ramdiskaddr} ${ramdisk};
if imi ${ramdiskaddr}; then; else
setenv bootargs ${bootargs} noinitrd;
setenv ramdiskaddr "";
fi;
${loadcmd} ${kerneladdr} ${kernel}
if imi ${kerneladdr}; then
bootm ${kerneladdr} ${ramdiskaddr}
fi;
And rootfs incorrectly detected :

There is a bug in prep-kernel !
mkimage is buggy for ramdisk if -O linux switch is used ...
No more kernel panic.

Downloading and give feedback after a try.

My kernel panics and the buggy initrd was fixed with :
Code:
diff --git a/usr/sbin/prep-kernel b/usr/sbin/prep-kernel
index 1348c78..4928445 100755
--- a/usr/sbin/prep-kernel

if [ -e "${ifile}" ]; then
printf "Generating initrd u-boot image... " >&2
