I resend my message since my last message has wrong coding.
I am new to the list. I am still newbie to embedded linux. I have bought an
ep440xs board which is similar to sequoia board. u-boot is working. I am trying
to make it run linux. I have the following problems and need your help. Thank
you very much:
I am using linux kernel 2.6.30.4. I encounter 2 problems:
1. After console_init() is called inside start_kernel(), the console starts
printing garbage like:
Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
serial8250.0: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x1ef600300 (irq = 16) is a 16550A
������������������������������
����������������������������
���������������������������������
������������������������������
�����������������.
2. It pakics when mounting the root file system(NFS):
(gdb) bt
#0 panic (fmt=0xc0290e94 "VFS: Unable to mount root fs on %s")
at kernel/panic.c:70
#1 0xc02d8ce0 in mount_block_root (name=0xc0290de4 "/dev/root", flags=0x8001)
at init/do_mounts.c:272
#2 0xc02d9084 in prepare_namespace () at init/do_mounts.c:415
#3 0xc02d81ec in kernel_init (unused=<value optimized out>) at init/main.c:885
#4 0xc000de60 in kernel_thread ()
There is a patch for Sequoia board to delete /chosen part in sequoia.dts, is
/chosen required?
