building kernal linux-2.6.32.2 and get linux version 2.6.29.4

George
Hi 

I downloaded the kernel linux-2.6.32.2-mini2440_20110305 and have made
configuration setup by make menuconfig then build kernel by make zImage. I
boot the mini2440 with the newly built zImage, but I got the linux version
2.6.29.4 in initial boot up

load Image of Linux...Uncompressing
Linux...........................................................................
.......................................................
done, booting the kernel.
Linux version 2.6.29.4-FriendlyARM (root@tom) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Sourcery
G++ Lite 2008q3-72) ) #3 Wed Jul 8 18:19:20 CST 2009
CPU: ARM920T [41129200] revision 0 (ARMv4T), cr=c0007177


It seems like that kernel still remain in 2.6.29.4

How to make it update?

George,

You have to upload the image to the board. What bootloader do you use?

BTW, do not use Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q3-72 toolchain, I couldn't run
pthreds_test example built with is - use the latest from Downloads page

Hi Pengui,

Thanks for the advice. I actually download the zImage using supervivi
bootloader and DNW tool through USB. I have double check the gcc enviroment
setting:

# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

alias rm='rm -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias mv='mv -i'

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
  . /etc/bashrc
fi

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/arm/4.3.2/opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3/bin

The gcc version is 
arm-linux-gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

gcc version 4.4.3 (ctng-1.6.1) 

I don't know why it shows (gcc version 4.3.2 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q3-72)
) in the board.

I couldn't run the pthreds_test example either. and I found this
discrepancy in version when I tried to insmod mini2440_hello_module.ko. The
module was build by linux-2.6.32.2 but kernel still in 2.6.29.4. The kernel
is linux-2.6.32.2-mini2440_20110413.tgz which is the latest and the gcc is
arm-linux-gcc-4.4.3.tgz.

Has any body experience this before


Thanks

George

Looks like there is something wrong with your NFS setup.  You'll have to
show us the files you modified in your rootfile system.

Also, which NFS server are you running on what host? And how is that setup?

It might be helpful to read the relevant section in the QuickStart.pdf at
this site:

hi ,
    i have not modified any file system was using root_qtopia_128M.img file
system

davef
Read the link there is quite a bit to set up.

Also, I think, the bootloader has to be able to be configured for an NFS
share.  Well, barebox does.  Never used NFS with u-boot or Supervivi.

required image,what i want, can anyone can guide in that area....
