Thank you all for your prompt answers. This group is really active!
Finally, I found the problem, I was loading the vmlinux kernel image... and
instead I tried zImage (compressed kernel image) and it worked!!
Don´t know exactly why is that, perhaps vmlinux was too big..
Can anyone give me an explanation?
Many thanks,
Magda
