Hi,

I have a fit-pc2-i http://www.fit-pc.com/web/fit-pc/fit-pc2-i/ with a ADATA
32GB SSD w/ a SATA interface drive built in. Kamikaze boots fine and from
scratch,  but neither backfire nor attitude adjustment. For them the boot
process stops while "waiting for root device /dev/sda2 in both cases.
I assume I need to include some additional modules in my firmware, but am
unsure which ones and at which level:
Can I compile kernel modules kmod* into the image and expect it to work?  I
thought that kmod models were stored in rootfs and since the system fails
to boot before it can even find rootfs. If my assumption is correct I have
to compile support directly into the kernel using make kernel_menuconfig
Is that correct? And if so, what do i have to include when configuring make
kernel_menuconfig and/or make menuconfig to get SATA drive to be recognised
as initial and only rootfs?
I consulted the extroot page in wiki, but I understand that approach relies
on an initial rootfs in the device's flash drive to be present, which then
writes its /overlay or / to the external storage; this is not what happens
with this fit-pc2-I, which has no flash drive but but only he SATA drive.

Any help and pointers on how to build such a x86 image is appreciated.

Thanks

Hanno Schupp
