minimal-image doesn't boot

minimal-image doesn't boot

[Marco Cavallini]

Hi,
I have been trying to run a minimal-image on an ARM system, because I
plan to use it on a 16MB NOR Flash.

I started wirh a PXA270 based board but I faced to puzzling jffs2
errors, then I tried on a more reliable machine (for me) Ronetix-pm9263
with same results.

Does anybody tested minimal-image recently?
Did it work?
With which machine?

Any hint will be greatly appreciated.

this looks like either the jffs2 image are completely messed up (not very
likely) or something went wrong while flashing. Do the bootloader agree with the
kernels about the partition layout and was the root flash partition erased
completely?

I do not have a Ronetix board around which would be useful to verify but I could
try it with the SimOne I have - I built a minimal image for it recently but
didn't test it so far.

Greetings

Florian

Dear Florian,
a complete root flash partition clean solved the problem
Thank you
