Its an arm 9 target. I'm using a book from KARIM YAGHMOUR called Building Embedded Linux systems as a reference guide to help with creating the RAM disk and understand the features of u-boot. (There's a really good section on u-boot in this book). I've managed to create the ramdisk, download it to my target but when I boot I get this message (only relevant sections included): Kernel command line: root=/dev/ram ...... ...... RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 4096K size 1024 blocksize ...... ..... cramfs: wrong magic FAT: bogus logical sector size 65535 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00 AAgh!!! Where could I have gone wrong!! I know this is a voluntary site but if someone could give me some give me a few hints then thanks.
