  To: u-boot

Greetings,

Getting an kernel oops after running an package manager (ipkg). Not seeing it anywhere
else, but dont have any large binaries (busybox).

So, I assume I have made some memory error in u-boot?

Best wishes
Kristoffer

No. U-Boot is long dead and gone when Linux boots.

Linux kernel oopses are a Linux issue.

Greetings,

Getting an kernel oops after running an package manager (ipkg). Not seeing it anywhere
else, but dont have any large binaries (busybox).

So, I assume I have made some memory error in u-boot?

Best wishes
Kristoffer


Dear Kristoffer,

I experienced a similar problem when U-Boot configured the SDRAM
controller incorrectly, so only half of the memory was being refreshed.

Regards,


Chris.

I was thinking somewhere in those lines, since linux pretty much
assumes that the bootloader already have the memory fully setup.
It could also be some cpufreq thing where I havent added the correct
memory settings yet (testing it now).

Thanks

Is that true even if I were to setup the memory registers incorrect?
I thought that linux pretty much expected the bootloader
to setup everything regarding the memory settings?

Oh, and IF I configured the memory incorrect, I should be able
to see somekind of fault when doing a memtest in u-boot, correct?
Or atleast that the write != read values?
And if I dont see that, then its linux kernel problem?

It is truye that U-Boot ceases to exist as soon as Linux starts
executing.

> I thought that linux pretty much expected the bootloader

Of course Linux relies on proper hardware initialization by the boot
loader.

No. Usually this is NOT the case.

No. Please read the FAQ:

Very useful information. So in short (just to make it crystal clear):
Even if u-boot works fine and linux starts without
any issues and can run some binaries (busybox from what I see) okey. 
If I am seeing some kernel oops when running bigger binaries (e.g apt/ipkg) / doing heavier stuff 
(trying to ftp/lynx through pcmcia card), it could be cause by bad memory configuration and/or bad initialization?

Yes, especially that are such symptoms. Of course, broken hardware is
also an option.
