As Dave suggest, get the newer arm tools. The 20010315 is quite old now. Many Linux distributions ship with an old genromfs (RedHat certainly does). Check that an older genromfs is not in your path first (something like "which genromfs" will tell you what you are actually running). > another thought: Maybe i can mount a filesystem from the net, instead > reading from the flash ? You could, but you are pretty close. > any other suggestions ? I guess if you wanted to dig into the code you could trace the exec call to see why it isn't finding init... > thanks for the help you gave until now ! you're doing a great work.
