Sadly, devfs is no more, and I'm trying to get the kernel to still consider mounting my romfs boot filesystem in flash, yet: VFS: No root yet, retrying to mount root on 31:3 (unknown-block(31,3)) VFS: Cannot open root device "31:3" or unknown-block(31,3) Please append a correct "root=" boot option I used to be able to specify root=/dev/mtdblock/3 and everything was well. Now I'm reduced to root=31:3 but that does not bring happiness. Creating 4 MTD partitions on "omapflash.0": 0x00000000-0x00020000 : "bootloader" mtd: Giving out device 0 to bootloader 0x00020000-0x00040000 : "params" mtd: Giving out device 1 to params 0x00040000-0x00240000 : "kernel" mtd: Giving out device 2 to kernel 0x00240000-0x02000000 : "rootfs" mtd: Giving out device 3 to rootfs The romfs filesystem is definitely there at 0x240000 and a much earlier kernel happily boots it. Any pointers? Any hope of devfs coming back to save us from this misery? Thanks, Brian
