Re: [Ltib] Problem while booting up kernel with JFFS2 File system.

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Rajesh,

Not sure what the problem is here, but here's some things to try/check:

* When running in NFS mode, try mounting your JFFS file system.
* Check that it looks reasonable
* If so try and chroot to it and make sure you're still running okay 
(you may need to re-mount /proc and /dev after chroot).

If all that is okay:
* try booting again, make sure the root= you pass is correct.  You 
should see a message said "mounting ... filesystem"

If that doesn't work, send your actual boot messages to the list, maybe 
someone on the list will be able to spot what is wrong.

Regards, Stuart
