I'm also having some problem with my systemace file system. I'm working with
secretlab git, and I try to mount the CF card with xsysace and with xsa, but
in both cases it can't mount the rootfs:
Linux/PPC load: console=ttyS0,9600 root=/dev/xsa3 rw
:
:
:
[ 2.777706] xsysace xsysace.0: Xilinx SystemACE revision 1.0.12
[ 2.849967] xsysace xsysace.0: capacity: 986320 sectors
[ 2.913383] xsa: unknown partition table
:
:
[ 3.398810] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the
availa:
[ 3.499476] fe00 493160 xsa (driver?)
[ 3.547926] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unkn)
Does this mean that I have configured incorrectly the file system options in
the kernel??
I have read that the solution to this is to change the DOS/FAT/NT Filesystem
option to the below configuration:
<*> Second extended fs support
DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems
< > MSDOS fs support
< > VFAT (Windows-95) fs support
< > NTFS file system support
[*] Advanced partition selection
[*] PC BIOS (MSDOS partition tables) support
I've already tested this configuration:
<*> Second extended fs support
DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems
<*> MSDOS fs support
<*> VFAT (Windows-95) fs support
< > NTFS file system support
[] Advanced partition selection
My CF card has the following structure:
Disco /dev/sdc: 521 MB, 521773056 bytes
16 cabezas, 63 sectores/pistas, 1011 cilindros
Unidades = cilindros de 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Disposit. Inicio Comienzo Fin Bloques Id Sistema
/dev/sdc1 1 400 201568+ 6 FAT16
/dev/sdc2 401 500 50400 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdc3 501 1011 257544 83 Linux
I'm also wondering if I should use xsysace or xsa, because I have search in
the file xsysace.c for the name of the device and It is named as xsysace. Am
I right, and should I use xsysace? Or this name isn't related with the /dev
file??
$ grep xsysace xsysace.c
.name = "xsysace",
ace_major = register_blkdev(ace_major, "xsysace");
printk(KERN_WARNING "xsysace: register_blkdev() failed\n");
unregister_blkdev(ace_major, "xsysace");
I'm going to reformat my CF card and test it,maybe the partition table is
corrupted, but fdisk is not saying anything at all.
Thanks
