Re: 5.0 - adding driver/file prevents boot

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

OS image get too large? Take a close look at the output from makeimg. If
you see something about skipping records, you have a problem with image
size.

When I add certain files to the OS image the image will no longer
boot. For example when I add my Notification LED driver the kernel
stops booting at the point of listing memory section. I remove the
NLED driver and rebuild and deploy, and it boots fine. It boots fine
with serial and ethernet drivers. If I only select the NLED driver,
and not the serial or Ethernet the kernel will stop at the same
place. Why wouldn't it stop with the Ethernet or Serial drivers? A
file is a file is a file right?

I need to be clear, it halts at kernel initialization with this
additional file. Without it the kernel boot fine without error. It
seems the NK.bin image is confused somehow.


Any ideas?
