Im trying to use embedded ramdisk on boot. The error is: [4294668.794000] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0) In make menuconfig I pass to initrdfs directory with my root("/mips/root"), there are no errors on make. Ramdisk size set to 7777k ([4294668.691000] RAMDISK driver initialized: 2 RAM disks of 7777K size 1024 blocksize) populate_rootfs() works fine: [4294667.502000] init/initramfs.c void __init populate_rootfs(void); [4294668.313000] checking if image is initramfs... it is then on do_mounts in void __init mount_block_root(char *name, int flags) it tryes to mount initrd with no result. :( As final: [4294668.794000] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0) Any ideas? Kernel from cvs(yesterday updated). Which type of fs is initrd? AFAIK gen_init_cpio just generates cpio archive with my root. Seems like it unpacked fine but who did mkfs on /dev/ram0? -- Dmitriy Tochansky toch@dfpost.ru JID: dtoch@jabber.ru
