CramFS and "Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)"

CramFS and "Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)"

Hi everybody !

I would like to compile a 2.6.9 linux kernel for my flash.

Please look at my config file :
...
CONFIG_CMDLINE="rootfstype=jffs2 root=/dev/mtdblock/2 ro 
mtdparts=phys_mapped_flash:1m(firmware)ro,1m(kernel),20m(root),-(jffs2)"
CONFIG_CRAMFS=y
...

to have this schema on flash :
- 1Mo for firmware in read only
- 1Mo for Kernel in read only
- 20Mo for root file system in read only CramFS
- 14Mo for file system in read and write
- and ramFS for /tmp /etc /var

is it the right way to build the flash ?

I compiled my kernel and when I started, I had this error message :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I compiled with cramfs in kernel, not as module, I checked my config 
file, I searched on the web but I haven't got any idea !

thanks for your help
