<DIV>Hello Ameet/Ming,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>First of all really appreciate your inputs on this... </DIV> <DIV>Problem 1 :</DIV> <DIV>I was using the factory shipped compact flash as is which comes with a DOS FAT16 partition and a linux 83 partition with ext3 filesystem. I tried it on 2 factory shipped CFs and its the same behavior - . When i plug-in the CF card reader to the linux box it always reads it as "sda" and in the linux2.6.17.1/Documentation/devices.txt - sda is the device file for SCSI disk devices. Wonerding how you guys configured the root option as "/dev/xsa".</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now i re-formatted my CF, created a ext2 filesystem using busybox-1.1.0 like the BYU instructions. Created 2 partitions on CF card 1. FAT16 partition & 2. linux partition and then created 1. dos file system using mkdosfs and 2. linux ext2 filesystem using mke2fs.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But the problem still persists and i get "Please
append a correct "root=" boot option :"</DIV> <DIV>:(</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Problem 2: After i included the TEMAC driver and sysace drivers, the kernel just hangs. I thought i'll fix problem 1 before i get to problem 2... </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>With your help i am getting the confidence that i can make this all work!</DIV> <DIV>thanks once again.</DIV> <DIV>-Pradeep<BR><BR><BR><BR><B><I>Ming Liu <eemingliu@hotmail.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Hello Ameet,<BR>I am using that driver very well now.
