Issues with booting upstream kernel for Raspberry Pi B

[Mahadevan Srinivasan]

Hi Jannis,

I am using gcc. I obtained the compiler using macports by following the instructions in http://elinux.org/Raspberry_Pi_Kernel_Compilation.

port install arm-none-eabi-gcc
port install arm-none-eabi-binutils

This installs the compiler here: /opt/local/bin/

I mapped CCPREFIX to point to CCPREFIX=/opt/local/bin/arm-none-eabi-

For reference, my zImage is around 3.3 MB. Is that expected?

Thanks,
Mahadevan.

I followed the instructions from http://elinux.org/RPi_Upstream_Kernel_Compilation and http://elinux.org/RPi_Kernel_Compilation to do the compile. I am doing a cross-compile on a mac. Everything went through fine. I have these files in my boot partition of my SD card:
