a problem when run uClinux on DE2 Board

[Altera_Forum]

When I do the uCLinux running acording to the http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3174 (http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3174) 

 I think the tool-chain has been builded,because the test is OK:  [giantice@localhost linux-2.6.x]$ nios2-linux-uclibc-gcc -v Reading specs from /home/giantice/buildroot/build_nios2/staging_dir/lib/gcc/nios2-linux-uclibc/3.4.6/specs Configured with: /home/giantice/buildroot/toolchain_build_nios2/gcc-3.4.6/configure --prefix=/home/giantice/buildroot/build_nios2/staging_dir --build=i386-pc-linux-gnu --host=i386-pc-linux-gnu --target=nios2-linux-uclibc --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared --disable-__cxa_atexit --enable-target-optspace --with-gnu-ld --disable-nls --disable-threads --disable-multilib --enable-cxx-flags=-static Thread model: single gcc version 3.4.6 [giantice@localhost linux-2.6.x]$ nios2-linux-uclibc-flthdr ~/rootfs/bin/busybox /home/giantice/rootfs/bin/busybox  Magic: bFLT  Rev: 4  Build Date: Sat Jul 1 09:37:27 2006  Entry: 0x40  Data Start: 0x681b8  Data End: 0x80e40  BSS End: 0x9e19c  Stack Size: 0x3e80  Reloc Start: 0x80e40  Reloc Count: 0x35ae  Flags: 0x1 ( Load-to-Ram ) [giantice@localhost linux-2.6.x]$  Then I make the confige :# config the kernel make ARCH=nios2nommu CROSS_COMPILE=nios2-linux-uclibc- menuconfig  But when I download the image and run: cd /cygdrive/h/linux-2.6.x/arch/nios2nommu/boot nios2-download -g zImage nios2-terminal  the process paused at : Uncompressing Linux...  What' the problem?  I do need someone help me.

I would check this first.  The problem is it could be many other issues as well. To compound matters, if the kernel is crashing before initializing the console, PrintK is not going to work.  If you need to start tracing through the execution, the kernel jumps into head.s....  Keith

What is the program address displayed in nios2-download? 

 If the size of your sdram is smaller that 16MB, eg DEII with 8MB sdram, change the link address of the uncompress loader to 5M,  Processor type and features-->(0x00500000) Link address offset for booting.  The zImage load address is ( your sdram base address + link address offset ) . The zImage boot loader does not relocate itself.
