References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-embedded@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: I have seen these errors before on an MVME2301. My problem was caused by not having the proper devices in /dev. I had to add /dev/console and /dev/ttyS0. Output from my (working) machine: sh-2.03# ls -l /dev/console /dev/ttyS0 crw--w--w- 1 root root 5, 1 Jul 8 07:19 /dev/console crw--w--w- 1 root root 4, 64 Apr 13 08:39 /dev/ttyS0 I also have to give the command boot option: console=/dev/ttyS0 Now it works. Good Luck. Kwansuk Kim wrote: > > I just mounted the ramdisk with a warning. > > Is there any problem with unchecked fs?
