been trying to boot linux on an ml507 board for a few days now. I am
using xilinx’s linux-2.6-xlnx.git kernel. The rootfs is home
rolled. I have had experience with NFS mounted root filesystems (not an
option here), cramfs, and romfs but have never tried running root out of a ramdisk.
Because of that I am quite sure I have dorked this up. Any help will be
appreciated! I have added printk’s in the kernel at do_sys_open to
get an idea what is going on. Here is a snip of the boot output:<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
