Hi All,

I am a student in City College of NY and this is my first post to the
group. I am working on Xilinx ML310 board and am trying to port Linux
on that. I followed the instructions provided by xilinx to create the
base PCI design in their website. So i created zImage.elf,
download.bit, and fused them together to create system.ace. then put it
in the compact flash. Now when i tun the systemace the following
messages appear in the terminal and the kernel hangs after the message
"now booting the kernel"

Enter Desired System ACE CF Configuration <0-7>.
0: ACE-loader.
1: Linux w/PCI.
2: VxWorks w/PCI.
3: QNX Demo.
4: Linux EDK Base Build.
5: VxWorks EDK Base Build.
6: User Configuration A.
7: User Configuration B.

Select: sysace: Loading new config 6

Now booting the kernel

Any clues as to where i am going wrong? Am using EDK 7.1 to create the
systemace and download.bit

with warm regards,
