Hi Graziano, OK. So your kernel is getting as far as processing the /init script (which is where the LINUXRC messages come from) which means the kernel itself must be OK for your hardware. It still feels to me like the problem is a kernel Module for your Compact Flash drive missing from initrd.lrp.
What gets printed after the "[ 11.931387] scsi0 : sc1200" line? Do you get a chance to hit Enter for a shell? If so, please post the contents of the /linuxrc.err file. My advice is for you to edit the /init script within initrd.lrp to have it print out some more diagnostics. Having it run "busybox lspci" would be a good start since that will show the IDs for your PCI devices. davidMbrooke On Thu, 2011-04-28 at 08:39 +0200, Graziano Brioschi wrote: > Hi davidMbrooke > > Thanks for your suggestions. > > Here my answers: > > boot using libata.dma=3: nothing changes, my net4501 does not boot (I > have already tried this boot option yesterday) > boot using libata.dma=0: nothing changes; the system doesn't boot > correctly.
