I have 2.6.14 kernel and the following partitions (defined in U-Boot 1.1.4)
mtdparts=0:1024k(Linux),4096k(root),2048k(Unused),512k(U-Boot),512()

And I tried different bootargs
bootargs=console=ttyCPM0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock1 rw rootfstype=jffs2

And I tried
bootargs console=ttyCPM0,115200 root=31:01 rw rootfstype=jffs2

I still have
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 
unknown-block(31,1)

I tried different minor numbers but result the same. Does anybody know 
what type of root param I should use for 2.6.14 - mtdblock1 or 31:01?
Can anybody suggest me what I missed? One of the reasons I see that I 
may have a corrupted root.

Thank you

Dimitry

Are you sure that your flash device name in Linux is just "0" ? Which
board is this?

The kernel boot messages  contain  a  section  about  MTD  partitions
found, something like this:

Can you see these messages on your system? Is the flash  name  really
"0"? Are the partitions correct?

Sorry for 3d email. The failed line I sent was incorrect - the problem 
is that debugger jumps from line to line on every step.
I have added -fno-schedule-insns -fno-schedule-insns2 into kernel Makefile:
CFLAGS          := -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs \
                    -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common \
                    -ffreestanding \
                    -fno-schedule-insns -fno-schedule-insns2
But it still jumping. What options shall I add in order to prevent 
debugger jumping while debugging kernel?
Sorry, for slight off-topic.
Thank you

Are you using physmap as the means of creating the mtd devices? If so 
there is a bug in many variants of the kernel that defines the map 
structure as follows:
struct map_info physmap_map = {
    .name = "Physically mapped flash",
    .size = WINDOW_SIZE,
    .buswidth = BUSWIDTH,
    .phys = WINDOW_ADDR,
};

Note that the name has embedded spaces - something I've never managed to 
get U-Boot to pass across on the kernel command line (I'm sure Wolfgang 
will correct me if I'm wrong here!!). The '1' in your 
"mtdparts=1:1024k(Linux)" should match the name of this map. In this 
case the code needs to be changed to NOT have spaces in it (and perhaps 
a more user friendly name) and the kernel config values for WINDOW_SIZE, 
BUSWIDTH and WINDOW_ADDR set correctly. That way you'd end up with 
something like:
struct map_info physmap_map = {
    .name = "fred",
    .size = WINDOW_SIZE,
    .buswidth = BUSWIDTH,
    .phys = WINDOW_ADDR,
};
and a command line something like:
mtdparts=fred:1024k(Linux),4096k(FS),2048k(Unused),512k(U-Boot),512()

I'd also suggest that you mount a known good fs using NFS (if you have 
ethernet on your target) and then try manually mounting the flash fs - 
that will check out its structure (endian-ness?) and the jffs2 drivers 
on your target.

Thank you Robin,

Yes, I have 'working' jffs2.img (original from board).
I checked for spaces - it looks ok. It has 'physically_mapped_flash'.
What I think is the problem with no discovering the flash - it should 
call 'add_mtd_partitions' in 'mtdpart.c' after finding the chip but it 
is not calling it and looks like because it's not finding the flash 
(8272ADS, Sharp 28F016SC).

I have:
...
RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 32768K size 1024 blocksize
loop: loaded (max 8 devices)
$Id: ftl.c,v 1.55 2005/01/17 13:47:21 hvr Exp $
physmap flash device: 800000 at ff800000
eth0: FCC ENET Version 0.3, 00:04:9f:91:22:33
...

And probably I should expect something like this:
...
PPChameleon: Found 1 x16 devices at 0x0 in 16-bit bank
	 Amd/Fujitsu Extended Query Table at 0x0040
	PPChameleon: Swapping erase regions for broken CFI table.
	number of CFI chips: 1
	cfi_cmdset_0002: Disabling erase-suspend-program due to code brokenness.
===>	Creating 3 MTD partitions on "PPChameleon":
===>	0x00000000-0x00180000 : "linux"
===>	0x00180000-0x003c0000 : "user"
===>	0x003c0000-0x00400000 : "u-boot"

I may be missing something, from my understanding it should find the 
chip before mounting root. And it looks like it couldn't find the chip.
Again, I may be wrong and very likely I missed something.

But I will really appreciate if somebody can help me with this.

[snip]

In that case you should have a u-boot line of

mtdparts=physically_mapped_flash:1024k(Linux),4096k(FS),2048k(Unused),512k(U-Boot),512()
not of
mtdparts=1:1024k(Linux),4096k(FS),2048k(Unused),512k(U-Boot),512()

The name is significant (I think!!)

Yep, I set
mtdparts=phys_mapped_flash:1024k(Linux),4096k(FS),2048k(Unused),512k(U-Boot),512()

I got flash discovery working and I set 'CONFIG_MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS=y' but 
kernel is not even attempting to parse 'mtdparts'. It's not calling 
'parse_cmdline_partitions' function. Even if I got wrong 'mtd-id', it 
still should attempt to parse 'mtdparts' (well, at least I think so).

Here is output:

Does anybody has any idea of why parsing of 'mtdparts' is not even started?

I have enabled debug macro:

/* debug macro */
#if 1
#define dbg(x) do { printk("DEBUG-CMDLINE-PART: "); printk x; } while(0)
#else
#define dbg(x)
#endif

Thank you

You are 100% correct. When using command line partitioning, the .name
entry must not contain spaces (no matter which boot loader you use  -
this is a problem with the Linux kernel's argument parsing).

You may set it, but do you pass it as part of the boot arguments?

No, you don't. [Do you understand now  why  complete  information  is
essential? If you had provided the boot log with the first posting we
would not have wasted our time looking for the wrong things.]

Make sure to add the mtdparts=... stuff to your bootargs!

Yep, thank you all. Indeed I missed it.
I will be more careful next time.

Thank you again!

Assuming the board is 8272ads, you could try the MTD cvs from 
infradead.org,
I used to add the map for this board - look into drivers/mtd/maps/pq2fads.c
