Booting problem !!

[Kavita Kalra]

Hi ....i hv just started working on omap5912.

And while trying to load the kernel image encountered the same
problem.Theprocessor hanged after i gave the command bootm...........I
had to reload
the uImage again . I am not sure whether it will help u or not but it may be
becoz of the size of kernel that u entered may be different .In my case it
was this.
But i m struck at the same point once again........I am using the procedure
mentioned in the documentation that is provided with the kit but it says
minicom does not work properly with uboot.....i saw in your mail that u r
using minicom.........is it working fine?

Pls excuse me 4 my ignorance  but i m confused how to enter kernel
parameters .using hyperterminal........the command is
setenv bootargs console=ttys0,115200n8 noinitrd rw ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=serverip:/home/username/montavista/filesys,nolock mem=30M
saveenv
Is it jst a command to enter the parameters or it requires the linux system
ON at that particular moment?

if yes then hw to communicate with linux on one system and hyperterminal on
winxp of some other system..........does it require some configurational
setup ?Or should i configure minicom for this purpose......?
pls suggest ???
