I have an IPAQ h5555.
I have Familiar 0.8.4 GPE image installed on root partition of the main
flash and 2-21-12 bootloader on boot partition.
I tried to install Angstrom on a CF card in a sleeve.
I partitioned the sleeve and put the kernel and parameters files in hda1
VFAT partition and the root filesystem in a second CF partition (hda2)
formatted ext3.
When I try to boot off the CF (boot vfat), the kernel (2.6.21-hh20 whit
sleeve and ext3 drivers compiled in it) gets loaded but panics when is
time to mount the root partition:
[ 6.790000] No filesystem could mount root, tried: jffs2
[ 6.800000] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs
on unkn)
I tried to load a small Angstrom image in the second Flash (mtdblock2)
and to load it from the CF kernel, whith exactrly the same results.
I found no way to boot off the second flash directrly from the bootloader.
My linuxpars from the CF are:
root=/dev/mtdblock/2 noinitrd console=ttyS0,115200
I also tried to load diffrent params in the bootloader using the "set"
command, but the result is alwys the same.
Thank you
Stefano Salvi
