Did this actually boot? I do have btrfs support in the kernel build, but u-boot does "not"... On of things my NetInstall does, if the rootfs is on the same media as the boot location, u-boot will actually search all (7) mmc partitions to load vmlinuz/initrd.img... However with out btrfs support in u-boot this throws a major fork into that assumption. (for when boot drive != rootfs drive (u-boot can't read the rootfs drive), i use the boot drive to store the vmlinuz/intrd.img to jump into the rootfs) btw, do a fresh git pull, the "vfat" partition should no longer exist, i typically test with: /dev/mmcblk1p1 - ext2 - /boot/ (partition created by netinstall) /dev/mmcblk1p5 - swap /dev/mmcblk1p6 - ext4 - / Regards, -- Robert Nelson http://www.rcn-ee.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
