Hi,
Thanks for responding last time about how to boot from compact flash.
That problem was solved and I kept moving ahead but now I am stuck up in
another issue..
I have loaded vmlinx, initrd, syslinux.cfg a root fs on the CF. And
booted up the box. It hangs up with the following lines..
*****************************************************************8
NET4: Unix domain socket 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0
RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 1150
Freeing initrd memory: 170k freed
isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=09:00, iso_blknum=16, block=32
kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 09:00
****************************************************************
below is the listing of linuxrc in initrd.img
****************************************************************
#!/bin/nash
echo "Loading jbd module"
insmod /lib/jbd.o
echo "Loading ext3 module"
insmod /lib/ext3.o
echo Preparing setup ramdisk
mount -o remount,rw / 2>/dev/null
echo Mounting proc...
mount -t proc none /proc
echo Copying the root fs
gunzip -c /rootfs.dd.gz /dev/ram1
echo done
echo Chaning to new root
echo 257 >/proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev
umount /proc
echo done.
echo Continuing normal boot procedure from ramdisk
*****************************************************************
while the listing of syslinux.cfg is as follows...
*************************************************************
default linux
prompt 1
timeout 600
label linux
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1
ramdisk_start=1150 ramdisk_size=5342880
*****************************************************************
Could someone please comment on where could be the problem. And yes I
also set the ramdisk word in the kernel. What I did was rdev -r
./vmlinuz 17535.
Thanks in advance..
