please advise
The CTRL-C will only work if you have flow control disabled on your terminal program. This confused me for a while...
It sounds like the zImage and rootfs.gz partitions on the fis are corrupt. You could have a look at the gateworks notes, this describes my efforts to get ME2000 onto this board. I have not tried burning onto the internal flash yet, I just use a Compact Flash card.
