Hi, I using kernel version 2.6.10 (kernel.org) and wish to use udev instead of devfs. Using devfs I have been able to boot-up the kernel using cramfs and busybox. However, when trying to boot after I switch on CONFIG_HOTPLUG and switching off CONFIG_DEVFS_FS, I get the following error on boot. VFS: Cannot open root device "mtdblock/0" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) I observed that do_mount_root called from mount_block_root in init/do_mounts.c is Returning error code -6 (ENXIO - no such device or address) when it tries to mount /dev/root on /root. How can /dev/root be accessible even before the root filesystem has been mounted? Should ramfs be the filesystem for /dev in case devfs is not used? If yes, how can I get this configured? I have the udev and hotplug programs loaded into the cramfs image, but frankly I cant see how they come into the picture till the root device is mounted successfully. Is there any document on how to get a udev only system get started on a kernel.org kernel and busybox. (without using initrd) Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
