Hi, I am new in embedded linux.

I somehow got an "empty" ts-7200 from a colleague, without any arm-linux in it and without any kernel (zImage/vmlinux),
so I tried to install debian-sarge on to a CF, and using redboot to boot from CF, however at the end of doing everything, it said "kernel panic"

the steps are :
1.  put my cf in a usb reader, and plug it in to a linux machine (in this case, Ubuntu)
2. # fdisk /dev/sdb1
3. mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1
4. tune2fs -i 0 /dev/sdb1
5. download debian sarge

wget ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7200-linux/distributions/debian-sarge-256MB-05-01-2006.tar.bz2

moved it into my CF and extract it
6. tar -xzvf debian-sarge-256MB-05-01-2006.tar.bz2
7. unplugged it from my ubuntu machine
8. plug the CF on to ts-7200
9.download the kernel

 ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7200-linux/binaries/ts-kernels/zImage-72xx-2.6.21-ts -> put this into my http server , 192.168.0.10

10. redboot > load -v -r -b 0x00218000 -h 192.168.0.10 -m http /~michael/zImage-72xx-2.6.21-ts
11. redboot > exec -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/hda1
...
tried to boot and somehow, kernel panic..  Those are my precise steps, without removing/adding anything more. So, can anyone help me to pin point which step I might have done wrong?


Thank you guys..
