Hi All, I tried to compile and upgraded my Sheevaplug from kernel 2.6.38 to 2.6.39 with my own compiled kernel, however I always got the mount root problem as below.
This is a part of uBoot messages before kernel panic and hang, my SheevaPlug boots from USB normally with kernel 2.6.38 (I tried to compile the kernel 2.6.39 many times, the last time I used kirkwood_defconfig without changes as my kernel configuration but it doesn't work). ======================================== usb 1-1: new high speed USB device number 2 using orion-ehci ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl F300) Root-NFS: no NFS server address VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy. VFS: Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block(2,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: 1f00 1024 mtdblock0 (driver?) 1f01 4096 mtdblock1 (driver?) 1f02 519168 mtdblock2 (driver?)

Any help is appreciated. Sorry for my English. Thanks and rgds, H.
