If you are trying to use the 2.6.8 kernel with the default file-system
that comes with the OSK, I don't believe this will work. The montavista
kernel that comes with the OSK is a 2.4 kernel and not 2.6. Therefore,
you should create a new flash file-system for the 2.6.8 kernel. 

Check out the OSK wiki page: http://elinux.org/OSK

In particular see the "OSK5912 Newbie Guide" that provides details on
how to create a flash file-system.

Also, please copy the list. You can also search the mailing list on the
following page, as there has been a lot of discussion with regard to the
OSK in the past.

You can download a rootfs and a 2.6.23 based kernel from:

http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/releases/2007.12/images/omap5912osk/

Let me know of they work for you.

Hi Rajagopal Venkat,

I´m using GIT´s Kernel, but I think it works the same. I´ve tryed to
follow TI´s instructions but it doesn´t help me very well.

I think you must configure your u-boot´s variables related with file
system. Send your your u-boot config.

regards

Fabiano
