Hi all, after solving my problem on compiling kernel for mini2440: http://www.friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/2430 I have a new problem, this time with network, that makes my board rebooting. This is whats happening: ====================================================================== If i use this: (uboot): setenv bootargs console=ttySAC0,115200 mini2440=1tb rootfstype=ext3 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait (/etc/network/interfaces): auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp WITHOUT NETWORK CABLE PLUGGED IN: Output: Setting up networking....

(continues the reset) =================================================================== The ip range offered its correct and also the domain. However it always reboot. I also tried with a static ip in the interfaces file, and boots up, but on the end of boot it restarts again (i tried doing ping from windows while this process, and did it for 1-2 seconds, then boot up) Maybe its a problem with MAC? it has the default one wrapped in the uboot binary. (MAC: 08:08:11:18:12:27) Maybe its wrong? I also looked at CONFIG_PACKET to be set up (CONFIG_PACKET=y). I also looked for CONFIG_FILTER but not found (somewhere i read about this, but i wanna ask you before recompile the kernel again...) Any ideas on this? Thanks in advance Regards Omar
