[commit] Werner Almesberger: mm1rc3rst/fix2.sch: use fixed V range for result; don't open data display (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/wernermisc/c0395dc
<ignatius_>
Hi... after compiling the kernel.. I get this message: "Kernel panic - not syncing VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0"Â Â Here is my kernel .config: http://www.armory.com/~ignatius/config.htm -- if anyone could help me out, i'd really appreciate it. Thanks..
<mth>
how does the kernel get the device to be used for the rootfs?
<mth>
there is no kernel command line defined there
<mth>
is it passed via u-boot?
<mth>
how are you booting your kernel?
<ignatius_>
Hmm. Good point... although, in the past it (the kernel cmdline) didn't really matter. I got the same error message.
<ignatius_>
In the mean time, I guess i'll try it again. Thanks.
<mth>
maybe you don't need it, but then the rootfs device must come from somewhere else, for example u-boot
<ignatius_>
I'm using the OpenWRT u-boot binary.
<ignatius_>
It (a previous kernel) worked fine, with what seemed to be that same basic .config
<mth>
the "unknown-block" suggests that something is wrong there, either there is no device defined or a device of an unsupported type
<ignatius_>
I don't understand what i'm doing wrong.
<mth>
and you're building the same type of image?
<ignatius_>
Yeah. Same kernel. Same everything.
<mth>
u-boot kernel arguments only work with "uImage", not "zImage", iirc
<ignatius_>
Same tool chain.
<ignatius_>
Yes. I'm using the "linux/arch/mips/boot/uImage" file.
<ignatius_>
In the process of getting the cmdline from the working kernel.
<mth>
do you still have to old config? if so, it might be useful to run a diff
<ignatius_>
Yeah. I tried "make oldconfig" but the tool chain didn't like that.
