Hi, Looks like next-20180906 now has a regression where mounting root won't work with commit fd0002870b45 ("vfs: Implement a filesystem superblock creation/configuration context"). Here's what happens for me on MMC for example: Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2... mmc0: host does not support reading read-only switch, assuming write-enable mmc1: new SDIO card at address 0001 mmc0: new high speed SDXC card at address e624 mmcblk0: mmc0:e624 SU64G 59.5 GiB mmcblk0: p1 p2 p3 VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0p2" or unknown-block(179,2): error -2 Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: ... b302 60298240 mmcblk0p2 000b9930-02 ...
