Hi all, im running out of ideas about getting mini2440 work with debian. I flashed uboot on NAND. I have a SD card with 2 partition (vfat for boot, and ext3 for rootfs) I downloaded lots of kernels: -The one from FriendlyARM: http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=linux-2.6.32.2-mini2440_20100609.tgz -This one: git://repo.or.cz/openembedded/mini2440.git -And the one from kernel.org and patching it with arm patch. I use this for crosscompile: http://code.google.com/p/mini6410-debian/downloads/detail?name=arm-linux...= I use debootstrap for making the grip: sudo debootstrap --arch=armel --foreign lenny grip/ http://www.emdebian.org/grip/ I configure uboot this way: setenv bootcmd mmcinit \; fatload mmc 0:1 0x31000000 uImage \; bootm 0x31000000 setenv bootargs console=ttySAC0,115200 mini2440=1tb rootfstype=ext3 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait After about 30-40 kernel recompiles, i dont find a solution (the problem at end of post). Dont matter if i compile with mini2440_defconfig , or if i use one of config_mini2440_* (a70,l80,n35,t35,vga..), o just use menuconfig and do my selection. I do make clean, make, make modules, make modules_install, make uImage .... in that order, and also tried ones i saw in a forum: make -j4 , make -j4 modules. All of those options using cross compiler specifiyng arm arch. When i run in NAND, it works fine until mounting rootfs. Its not a failure of sd partitions, or bad make (no errors), uImage loads OK. The problem is when it mounts rootfs, here is a sample of the log: ....... ....... ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 31000000 ...

(ALL LOG ATTACHED) I tried all options, using vfat for boot, or using ext2. I tried lots of kernel configurations, but i dont get where is the problem... any help would be apreciated!!!!! thanks in advance
