Thanks for your reply. Yesterday I found that the init happens from do_initcalls in init/main.c. I printed the address of the init functions and used system.map to find where it is hanging (it was hanging at ide_init). Added a return at the top of that and currently the flash is getting probed and it also gives me messages that it has created two partitions. However at the end I am still getting a kernel panic that it cannot find the root device. On 7/11/07, Bhanu Kalyan Chetlapalli <chbhanukalyan@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

I tried adding a lot of printks I guess you should be using early_printk in lieu of a normal printk, if you are trying to print messages this early in the boot sequence. > to cmdline parsing function (boot loader passes a mtdparts=XYZ to > kernel), flash driver and CFI probe function.
