Hi. I sent this message out yesterday, right before my isp developed problems. So I don't know if it was sent, or if anyone replied. My apologies if this causes any problems. I may very well end up getting tons of stored e-mail at some point, or everything may have gone to the big bit bucket in the sky... I'm porting uClinux to an m68360 based board and I've gotten the following console response. I'm currently running completely in ram, since we've had problems with our debugger running out of flash. The following console log was taken with debugging turned on. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to correct the "mount root fs" problem. Additionally, is there anything that would have to be done differently when I do load uClinux into flash? Also, can anyone explain what is meant by a blkmem arena? I have a few questions based on discussions of this topic I've seen in the mail archives. I belive what I need to do is to append a romfs image behind the kernel. I'm not too good with make files, but I think I've started to understand what people have been suggesting. However, the 68360 build I'm working with is based on uClinux2.0.38.1pre7. Suggestions I've seen before in the mail list show code snippets from makefiles dealing with 2.4 and later. I'm at a loss to figure out how to add the modifications to the current makefile. Additionally, in the readme.html file for the 68360 port it says "romfs.img, the root filesystem image, is now appended to the kernel rather than being compiled into drivers/blkmem.c (the old method)." Does this affect anything I have to do? Or is this referring to older modifications?
