Subject: VFS: Cannot open root device ...
Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2006 13:20:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44885C45.7020009@ics-ltd.com> (raw)
I'm trying to port a 2.6 kernel to a V2Pro-based board that I've got. I
get the following output when trying to boot:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
I'm trying to use an initrd RAMDISK, and I've made sure that RAMDISK and
initrd support are both enabled in the kernel configuration. Any ideas
would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris Dumoulin
