[T1042 Ramdisk] Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

Hello NXP,

I want to boot with ramdisk using commands below.

tftp 1000000 uImage--4.19-r0-t1042d4rdb-64b-20200217054545.bin
tftp 2000000 t1042d4rdb--4.19-r0-t1042d4rdb-64b-20200217054545.dtb
tftp 3000000 asd2.rootfs.ext2.gz.u-boot
bootm 1000000 3000000 2000000

I can successfully boot on bank0 with these commands. But when I switch to BANK 4 ( alternate bank ), It gives me error. Error logs are here;

Freeing unused kernel memory: 524K
This architecture does not have kernel memory protection.

I attached full logs from BANK0 booting and BANK4 booting. They both have same U-boot environment variables. I am suspecting that this is a QMan problem but I am unable to reach QMAN memory from U-boot console.

When I try to protect off QMan memory on flash

=> protect off 0xEFF10000 +$filesize
Error: start address not on sector boundary

I had this error.

Any help ? Thanks.

Hello Yusuf Altıparmak,

Please add "ramdisk_size=10000000" in bootargs.

In u-boot:

=>setenv bootargs "root=/dev/ram rw console=ttyS0,115200 ramdisk_size=10000000"

=>saveenv

Thanks,

Yiping
