Hi Skateman,

Thanks a lot for testing the RC3 and for testing the new InterWeb browser.

Cheers,

Not much of a test, but I can report that RC4 boots to Fienix

I finally have my Linux systems up and running again on various partitions. In the past I tested new kernel versions by simply replacing the new version number in the bootargs and off course placing the .dtb, kernel and modules in the correct places. When doing this in the past I used a uRamdisk image which let do this no problems. Now if I use a uRamdisk or uInitrd images I seem to be locked to the kernel version on my system (at this time 5.7). If I try to boot pointing to a new kernel the boot simply fails. I have tried to read up on initrd and get the concept but I don't understand how you can make a new initrd image of the new kernel is not already loaded on the system?

How is everyone else booting their systems with Christian's new kernel images?

How is everyone else booting their systems with Christian's new kernel images?

I run it with these commands (uInitrd-5.10 is new enough to work also with uImage-5.14; I have not installed the kernel modules):

setenv bootargs root=LABEL=FIENIX
load mmc 0:1 1000000 uImage-5.14;load mmc 0:1 1c00000 cyrus_5020.dtb;load mmc 0:1 2000000 uInitrd-5.10
bootm 1000000 2000000 1c00000

Thanks Roland. My args are almost identical but I will try with an uinitrd-5.10 image.

Using a backup of Uinitrd-5.10 failed to boot. I got a message similar to the one below:
mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/***************************** on /root
failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory

Target file system doesn't have /sbin/init
No init found. Try passing init= bootarg

Busybox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands
(initramfs) _

Any ideas? I can boot with uInitrd-5.10 and kernel image 5.7. I'll look around for another download of uInitrd-5.10 in case mine is corrupt. I basically get the same message trying to boot Fienix or MintPPC32.

Could you please boot without an initial ramdisk?
