My system: ConnectME9210 4/8 Lx DigiEL-5.0 patched
Hello,
I’ve worked several time on trying to make working the kernel with loading (or mounting, I don’t know what is the right word) the rootfs from flash AND NOT from nfs (then not from my /export/xxxx shared directory). No way!
I suppose that these assumptions are right:
The problem comes from the arguments given to the kernel (like root=, …), right?
There is a rootfs on flash (since I’ve flashed one) and it is that location that must be given as an arg to the kernel. Right? (then the kernel uncompress rootfs on RAM and use it)
I know that there are 5 partitions in flash. Is each partition is named mtdX? Where X = 0…4 ?
The only thing that works when booting kernel manually from U-Boot is “dboot linux tftp”. When I try “dboot linux flash” here is the message:
CME9210 # dboot linux flash
