Re: bootloader finished

Mickey,

to get correct linuxargs you need to tell the kernel where they are :) check 
the kernel source and look at the bottom of arch/arm/mach-sa1100/simpad.c add 
a line after BOOT_MEM(0xsomething) containing BOOT_PARAMS(0x00000100)
It should work then.
The erase size is already set to 0x20000, but something is wrong with the 
reset of the second flash chip. Not quite sure yet what exactly is going 
wrong. I don't know if that's the problem causing the kernel to just find 16 
MB of flash.

I'll have a look at this tomorrow.
