Perhaps since you just upgraded to another kernel version, this may be your issue too. Our problem was that a symbolic link to the loader was missing. (this seems to change between versions or architectures) Check /lib on the working file system. You should find a symbolic link something like: ld.so.1 -> ld.so.2.2.3 Make sure this is not different than what you have in cramfs. Hope this helps. > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-mtd-admin@lists.infradead.org > [mailto:linux-mtd-admin@lists.infradead.org]On Behalf Of Patrick Allaire > Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 8:19 AM > To: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org > Cc: Patrick Allaire > Subject: From 2.4.9 to CVS ??? > > > > Hi, > > I was using the MTD drivers wich came with the linux 2.4.9 kernel source > code ... now I have moved to 2.4.17 but I have also updated the > mtd drivers > with the CVS code, but I am no longer able to boot from my flash. > > MTD setup : > > MTD support > MTD partitionning support > Direct char device access to MTD devices > Caching block device access to MTD devices > Detect flash chips by Common Flash Interface (CFI) probe > > Support for ST flash chips (it a port from intel chips ... the only > difference, is in the writing because st flash does not support word write > ... only complete block writes, its a cfi_cmdset_0020 ) > > CFI Flash device mapped on My Own Partitions ... same thing as 2.4.9 > > > Every thing is compiled fine ... at boot up, MTD find(probe) my flash, it > printout the partioning it will do ... after that I get > > VFS: Mounted root (cramfs filesystem) readonly. > Freeing unused kernel memory : 36k freed > Kernel panic: No init found.... > > > I know from the last line that the problems is that the kernel cannot find > /sbin/init ... but it is there, it is exactly the same cramfs I used on > 2.4.9 when it was working !!!
