Hello,
I cant seem to boot openwrt "Attitude Adjustment" or trunk checked out
on 2/6/2011.

The boot process stops with
<log>
[    0.530000] Generic platform RAM MTD, (c) 2004 Simtec Electronics

[    0.590000] VFS: Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block(0,0)
[    0.600000] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are
the available partitions:
[    0.620000] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root
fs on unknown-block(0,0)
</log>
root=/dev/foo or root=31:4 is of no use.
I came to the conclusion that it was because of the absence of the
file drivers/mtd/maps/ralink-flash.c, which was present in an archived
version of openwrt fenora build that i can access (I dont know if any
3rd party deltas were added to the repo). The file itself contained no
licensing information.


when i try to compile that file (after copying some more files from
the archive in question) i am left with the following error
<Error>

Google pointed me to sources in the mailing list that are ~11 years
old. Please help.
