Hi. I am just working on the same issue ( with romfs ).
Using devfs I must set root equals "/dev/mtdblock/0" and not "/dev/mtdblock0"... Regards. Chris -----Message d'origine----- De: Callebaut Benoit [mailto:callebaut at mailandnews.com] Date: jeudi 12 juin 2003 11:33 ?: linuxppc-embedded mailing list Objet: RE :how to do:root filesystem on flash? I, 1 : Create a cramfs filesystem with the right endianess from your nfs filesystem using mkcramfs. Burn it into the flash( at the start of the flash). 2 : In your kernel config set the "root=" option to : "/dev/mtdblock0" Enable Flash MTDBlock support and the right options like CFI,... Set up the start of the flash and its length Enable Cramfs in filesystem Disable NFS as root filesystem. Rebuild your kernel and flash it. Reboot the board en enjoy. PS : This question was already a 100 times answered. Search in the mailing list before asking such a question. Or maybe a better idea : One may build a FAQ or a list of Howtos on such common questions. Benoit Callebaut ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
