Hi Aleck, >1. When I directly download zImage.elf to the RAM and boot from there, I see >the kernel starts booting, but it complains about not being able to mount >/dev/sysace/disc0/part2 and thus kernel panic happens. > >The following is the output >--------------------------------------------------------------- >loaded at: 00400000 004D313C >board data at: 004D1124 004D113C >relocated to: 004050F8 00405110 >zimage at: 0040580D 004D0AA8 >avail ram: 004D4000 04000000 > >Linux/PPC load: console=ttyS0,9600 ip=off root=/dev/xsysace/disc0/part2 rw >Uncompressing Linux...done. >Now booting the kernel >[ 0.000000] Linux version 2.6.17.8 (aleck at sac.gdatech.com) (gcc version >4.0.0 (DENX ELDK 4.0 4.0.0)) #2 Thu Aug 31 11:49:40 PDT 2006 >[ 0.000000] Xilinx ML403 Reference System (Virtex-4 FX) >[ 0.000000] Built 1 zonelists >[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,9600 ip=off >root=/dev/xsysace/disc0/part2 rw >[ 0.000000] Xilinx INTC #0 at 0xD1000FC0 mapped to 0xFDFFEFC0 >[ 0.000000] PID hash table entries: 512 (order: 9, 2048 bytes) >[ 0.000176] Console: colour dummy device 80x25 >[ 0.000676] Dentry cache hash table entries: 8192 (order: 3, 32768 bytes) >[ 0.001452] Inode-cache hash table entries: 4096 (order: 2, 16384 bytes) >[ 0.015453] Memory: 63104k available (1268k kernel code, 468k data, 80k >init, 0k highmem) >[ 0.204374] Mount-cache hash table entries: 512 >[ 0.209943] NET: Registered protocol family 16 >[ 0.218843] NET: Registered protocol family 2 >[ 0.264481] IP route cache hash table entries: 512 (order: -1, 2048 >bytes) >[ 0.265267] TCP established hash table entries: 2048 (order: 1, 8192 >bytes) >[ 0.265465] TCP bind hash table entries: 1024 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) >[ 0.265569] TCP: Hash tables configured (established 2048 bind 1024) >[ 0.265599] TCP reno registered >[ 0.272471] io scheduler noop registered >[ 0.272558] io scheduler anticipatory registered (default) >[ 0.272626] io scheduler deadline registered >[ 0.272759] io scheduler cfq registered >[ 0.318755] Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ >sharing disabled >[ 0.323749] serial8250.0: ttyS0 at MMIO 0xa0001003 (irq = 9) is a 16450 >[ 2.026296] RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 65536K size 1024 >blocksize >[ 2.117598] tun: Universal TUN/TAP device driver, 1.6 >[ 2.177338] tun: (C) 1999-2004 Max Krasnyansky <maxk at qualcomm.com> >[ 2.252474] mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice >[ 2.314381] TCP bic registered >[ 2.350802] NET: Registered protocol family 1 >[ 2.402825] NET: Registered protocol family 17 >[ 2.458051] VFS: Cannot open root device "xsysace/disc0/part2" or >unknown-block(0,0) >[ 2.549979] Please append a correct "root=" boot option >[ 2.612426] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on >unknown-block(0,0) >[ 2.711373] <0>Rebooting in 180 seconds..<NULL> >----------------------------------------------------------- > Try this: mount the CF card onto your PC and then goto the /dev folder on your root filesystem in the card. Here run the following commands as root: # mknod -m 660 console c 5 1 # mknod -m 660 xsa b 254 0 # mknod -m 660 xsa1 b 254 1 # mknod -m 660 xsa2 b 254 2 # mknod -m 660 xsa3 b 254 3 Now there should be a directory tts in your dev. If not create one "mkdir tts". Then do this in the dev/tts folder, # mknod -m 660 0 c 4 64
If you don't need CF card at all, the easiest method to solve it is to remove it from the linux kernel configuration. Regards Ming _________________________________________________________________ ??????????????? MSN Hotmail? http://www.hotmail.com
