Hello,

I'm working on a AT91SAM9260-based SoC trying to get a more recent 
kernel to load my root file system (ubuntu 9.04). The kernel that came 
with the board is 2.6.28.8 and I'm trying to get 2.6.30 or later to 
work. The latest one I tried is the just released 2.6.31-6.25 kernel for 
Karmic.

The problem I have is that the kernels I compile can't read the two 
types of rootfs that I'm trying, ubifs and plain nfs. In the nfs case 
the kernel complains that it can't connect to the server but I am sure 
the server is available since I can mount the rootfs from any onther 
computer in the LAN.

The following are the results when testing the karmic kernel.

Case 1 (UBIFS)
--------------
...
UBIFS error (pid 1): ubifs_get_sb: cannot open "ubi0:rootfs", error -19
VFS: Cannot open root device "ubi0:rootfs" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available 
partitions:

1f01         1048320 mtdblock1 (driver?)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 
unknown-block(0,0)


Case 1 (NFS)
------------

The original 2.6.28.8 kernel on the same hardware happily mounts either 
rootfs type without any problems. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

Thank you,
