Hello,
(Apologies if this comes as a duplicate. The first version exceeded the
mailing list's message maximum size.)
I would like to upgrade a collection of GTA02s currently running kernel
2.6.29 (old!) and 2.6.34 to something newer.
I thought 3.5 would be a good choice: I heard that Dennis GNUtoo had it
working... but I can't even get started!
I am using the om-gta02/3.5/master branch from
git://github.com/shr-distribution/linux.git (currently at 7b0ccb3) but I
couldn't find any sample kernel configuration files.
I tried to adapt the kernel configuration file we already used to the
new version, but I must have done something wrong because the kernel
doesn't even receive its command line from the bootloader. Without a
valid command line, the kernel doesn't get far:
Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.
[ 0.575000] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs
on unknown-block(0,0)
Qi claims to be setting the command line as follows:
loglevel=2 console=tty0 console=ttySAC2,115200 init=/sbin/init ro
mtdparts=physmap-flash:-(nor);neo1973-nand:0x00040000(qi),0x00040000(depr-ub-env),0x00800000(kernel),0x000a0000(depr),0x00040000(identity-ext2),0x0f6a0000(rootfs)
rootfstype=jffs2 root=/dev/mtdblock6
I have attached the configuration file I am trying to use. Does anyone
have an example of a better one?
Thanks
