I am using SVN trunk (4099) and the uImage.initramfs image. I am wondering the root=/dev/mtdblock0 in the kernel command line has anything to do with it.

Message: 50897 you didnt enable any MTD device drivers, so mtdblock0 obviously wont exist

did you also disable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD in the kernel ?

Message: 50900 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not disabled in my build and I have not done any extra steps to enable any MTD device driver.

My system has only a root file system in ram and I don't need any other file storage. So there are two questions:

1/ What configurations I need to set and unset in order to enable the root file system in initramfs, which is the default in this distribution?

2/ Same question of 1, but the root file system is now a romfs/ramfs?? in ext2, like what we normally get in the 2007R3 distribution as default.

Also, I tried to unset CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD and recompile. This time I do not have the compressed image (uImage) build. See the log below:

Message: 50911 Ming:

As Mike pointed out - we can't support software that isn't downloaded from this web site. I found, and assume this is your hardware?

http://www.hhcn.com/chinese/adsp/HHBF531-StartKIT-R1.htm

If HHCN is distributing their own version of the uClinux dist - then they need to maintain it. For support try:

http://www.hhcn.com/cgi-bin/leoboard.cgi

If you are trying to update their version to the new version - the easiest thing to have someone from HHCN to submit a patch to our patch tracker, and we will just fix it, and commit it to our svn.
