any of you managed to get narcissus running on a 6440? i am using the standard linux sd loader to get a yaffs image onto the flash. first try was to have narcissus make me a tgz, and convert it into a yaffs image with mkyaffs2image. extracted the kernel image seperatly, and copied to sd card. the sd loader copied the yaffs image to flash just fine, but the kernel refuses to mount it: VFS: Cannot open root device "mtdblock2" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: S3C NAND Driver, (c) 2008 Samsung Electronics S3C NAND Driver is using hardware ECC. NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0xda (Samsung NAND 256MiB 3,3V 8-bit) Creating 3 MTD partitions on "NAND 256MiB 3,3V 8-bit": 0x00000000-0x00080000 : "Bootloader" 0x00080000-0x00580000 : "Kernel" 0x00580000-0x10000000 : "File System" -- lots of non-related stuff -- 1f00 512 mtdblock0 (driver?) 1f01 5120 mtdblock1 (driver?) 1f02 256512 mtdblock2 (driver?) Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) 2nd attempt: if i ask the narcissus generator to make me a yaffs2 file, the friendlyarm loader refuses to copy the image. Anyone any pointers on how to get a basic image running? Thanks, Remco
angstrom / narcissus+ 6440, how to get it running?
oh, forgot a piece: its like this: -- lots of non-related stuff -- VFS: Cannot open root device "mtdblock2" or unknown-block(31,2) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: 1f00 512 mtdblock0 (driver?) etc remco
2nd attempt: if i ask the narcissus generator to make me a yaffs2 file, the friendlyarm loader refuses to copy the image. Don't see the option for YAFFS2, however . . . I did give it a go about 6 months ago and the issue I had then probably is still relevant. The only kernel that has all the fixes for this platform is the one on buserror's site. Although there are probably a few other kernels around that are possibly patched properly. Have a look here: http://mini2440.netyxia.net/viewforum.php?f=4 And open-nandra has patches for 2.6.37-rc1, which I need to try compiling with the standard config_mini2440_N35 in the FriendlyArm distro. http://www.friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/1949 Good luck.
