Hi Folks, I am trying to use 2MB ramdisk image from denx as my linux filesystem. Linux kernel fails to mount the 'ext2' type file system from initrd. I pin pointed the problem.
Looks like the problem is in 'do_mounts.c -> mount_block_root' function where a call is made to sys_mount as follows: 'int err = sys_mount(name, "/root", p, flags, root_mount_data);' In my case name="/dev/root", p="ext2", flags=32768 and root_mount_data=<NULL>. The result of this call is EINVAL, i.e. invalid argument. Can anyone help me out find which one of the arguements could be invalid? If 'root_mount_data' is the culprit, why is it null? I see that it's value is set in one of the __setup functions. When are these functions supposed be executed? I know that all __initcalls are executed from dO_initcalls. This failure causes Kernel Panic, complaing about "Unable to mount root fs at 01:00". Thanks, Prakash ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
