Greetings: I am trying to bring linux up on a custom 405GPr Board. For a while I was getting the error:(RAMDISK: incomplete write (ramdisk too small?) (-28!= 32768) and then I discovered the my command line option ramdisk_size=8192 needs to be changed to ramdisk_size=16384.
Now I am past the ramdisk too small error, and I am getting the following error (see complete trace below): RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 16384K size 1024 blocksize Tracer: Initialization complete RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0. Freeing initrd memory: 1473k freed Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00 Any suggestions? Thanks Jerry Walden bootm 0x100000 0x200000 ## Booting image at 00100000 ...
