EXT2-f error

["Aman" <aman@mistralsoftware.com>]

Hi All

I have built a zImage.initrd.ebony image [ Kernel + Ramdisk] for my custom
board which has 440GP as its processor. This board doesn't have ethernet
support. However the kernel image contain network and ethernet support.

If I download this image to the custom board , I get the following errors.
"EXT2-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): ext2_check_page: bad entry in
directory #20: unaligned directory entry - offset=0, inode=4294967295,
rec_len=65535, name_len=255".

I tried the same image with my evaluation board , it works fine.  I have
taken the ramdisk image from HHL. Can you help me in solving this issue.

Thanking you in advance
Regards
Aman
