This is uninteresting. However, it seems that you are passing root=<file name> instead of ubd0=file_name.
Otherwise, you must probably try adding a rootfs=/dev/ubd0 (and possibly create /dev/ubd0 additionally/instead of /dev/ubd/disc0). > Another interesting thing I've noticed: if I pass a command line > argument cobd0= instead of root=, the error message if VFS: Cannot > open root device (0:98) instead of displaying the name of the > filesystem.
