I succeed redboot image loading into Avila board. Thanks to David Acker
for his time and patience.

I find npe Ethernet drivers are missing on the image. May I know how can
I add the drivers to the image?

Also the redboot shows the following errors -=0D

1.	Flash configuration checksum error
2.	Not able to load from CF.

Setup -

	Avila Board
	IXDP425
	Debian Linux 2.6.18
	ECOS snapshot (1 week old)

How can I make redboot complete?

Thanks and rgds,
