Hi Greg, The culprit was tftp transfer error. When using 100Mbps, we observed several error message on the screen during the initial download. When that happens, the boot failed at various places. Once we changed to 10Mbps, the transfer didn't result in any error messages. (One thing that still puzzles me is that we could never download with straight Image type, rather, we had to download the Srec, i.e. download with Image type only gave use ONE block.) Now the fun part. The network seems to be very sluggish. The only time when the network becomes alive is when we did tcpdump from the console. By doing tcpdump, the dhcpcd finally got dhcp offer properly, and we could ping any host on the network. The moment we stop tcpdump, the ping failed. (We had tcpdump also turned on on one of the hosts on the net, when we stopped tcpdump on 5272, there was no icmp traffic observed on the monitoring host.) I checked the ifconfig, the route, everything seems to be ok. It looks like the MAC layer stopped forwarding packets unless it's put in the promisc mode. Have you encountered the same problem before? Could it be hardware problem?? ----------------------------------- Wen-Ping Ying NextComm, Inc. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-uclinux-dev@uClinux.org > [mailto:owner-uclinux-dev@uClinux.org]On Behalf Of Greg Ungerer > Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2001 9:59 PM > To: uclinux-dev@uClinux.org > Subject: Re: [uClinux-dev] uClinux port to MCF5272?? > The next step is the init start up processing, so it > is getting into application space.
