[ts-7000] Help with Linux 2.6

["chris.gurtler" <>]

Hello,

Can someone help me with compiling compiling a kernel for 2.6. 


These are the steps I followed.

On my Fedora 9 Dev box I installed the cross compiler from the CD -

crosstool-linux-gcc-4.0.1-glibc-2.3.5.tar.bz2

I downloaded the Linux 2.6.27.4 distribution from :-

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.27.4.tar.gz

Created a directory called ts-7250 and extracted the distribution to it.

I downloaded the patch file linux-2.6.27.4-ts7200_ matt-1.tar.gz and
extracted it into the ts-7250 directory. 

I ran the patch the patch file using

patch -p0 <
linux-2.6.27.4-ts7200_matt-1/linux-2.6.27.4-ts7200_matt-1.patch

I then edited the Makefile in the ts-7250\linux-2.6.27.4 directory and
changed the CROSS_COMPILE entry to :-

CROSS_COMPILE   ?=
/opt/crosstool/gcc-4.0.1-glibc-2.3.5/arm-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnu-

I ran
make menuconfig

I used the menu to load the ts7200_defconfig file from the
linux-2.6.27.4-ts7200_matt-1 directory
I saved this configuration and then ran

make oldconfig
make vmlinux

This produced a file called vmlinux and I tryed to load this using
redboot with 

load -r -b 0x00218000 -h 192.168.0.2 vmlinux

The file can't be loaded, its's too large.

I'm obviously doing something wrong, if someone could point me in the
right direction then I would appreciate it.
