[Avila] embeeded Linux on GW2345

[Kerry Brown]

Depending on what version of redboot you are using you can load the 
kernel from compact flash by doing

load -r -m disk -b 0x01600000 hda1:zImage
load -r -m disk -b 0x00800000 hda1:ramdisk.gz
exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram0 initrd=0x00800000,8M" 0x01600000

You can change the root to /dev/hda1 if you have the cf-ide driver enabled

And if you are trying to do a nfs boot

exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=serveripaddress:/directory/ initrd=0x00800000,8M init=/linuxrc" 0x01600000

You need to make shure you have a linuxrc file in your ramdisk's root that loads the microcode and the ethernet drivers,
