Problem regarding booting STLinux

[Kurumbudel, P. <PKu...@le...>]

Hello,

Myself Prashanth, I am trying to boot STLinux-2.3 kernel on STb7109
board(mb442). I am using Linux Fedora 7 on the host machine, and I am
using STLinux-2.3 distribution.
I have done the following procedures
I have installed Fedora 7 on the host machine
Disabled firewall, by deleting iptables
Disabled SELinux
Installed compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.i386.rpm
Then, I got the STLinux-2.3 distribution
And I am trying to boot STLinux on the target board, using st40load_gdb
I have STMC in between target and the host. I have created
/exports/rootfs/<user>/target/ for nfs
Now, when I try to boot the precompiled image of linux, that I got with
STLinux distribution, I get the target I/O console, but the console is
empty and there is no interface to the board through that. I am pasting
the messages I get when I boot linux on the board using st40load_gdb.

[root@localhost boot]# st40load_gdb -t 169.254.163.238 -b
vmlinux-2.6.23.1_stm23_0102-mb442 -c /
mb442stb7109bypass -- console=ttyS0,9600d8 root=/dev/nfs/ nfsroot/
=169.254.163.239:/exports/rootfs/rshinde/target/
ip=169.254.163.238::0.0.0.0:255.255.0.0:lear::off mem=32m
The target is assumed to be little endian
The target architecture is assumed to be sh4

(gdb) set linux-awareness enabled on
You're loading the linux-awareness layer on a kernel with missing debug
information. Your kernel seems to be supported, thus basic functionality
(info tasks, info modules) should work anyway. You will be notified that
the
debugger will use untrusted default values for more advanced uses.
It is safer to use a kernel built with debug information if possible.
Enabling Linux kernel awareness layer [Build Nov  3 2007].
warning: No debug information found for field 'tgid' of 'struct
task_struct'. Using default values (offset 216, size 4). See 'set
linux-awareness field_offset_task_struct_tgid' and 'set linux-awareness
field_size_task_struct_tgid'
(gdb) console on
warning: You seem to be trying to debug a Linux Kernel, but your binary
is missing
debug information. The linux awareness layer didn't load itself. You can
force the load by issuing: 'set linux-awareness enabled on'.

Rejected, 
reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported
and host-based authentication failed

And in another shell I keep kermit open, I don't get any interface
through kermit also, I am pasting what ever seen in kermit here :
