Hi...

       I am trying to load jffs file system from my flash in my ixdp425
board. my kernel shows...JFFS file system is mounted. but there is no
prompt there.

I want to know, whether i m following correct steps with u-BOOT or not.

       1. created jffs file system using mkfs.jffs2 
       (mkfs.jffs2 -e 0x20000 -b -r /root/Prakash/RAMD/temp/ -o ram.img.
 )
       2. made the ram.img as ram.uimg using mkimage -T ramdisk -C gzip
-a 0x00440000 option.
          (My kernel boot message shows 0x0044000 as user partition.so
that i m using it for RF.)

       3. Made ram.uimag as srec file. and downloaded into flash at
0x50160000.

       Now i m passing the following as my command line args.   
 
=root=/dev/mtdblock1 mem=16M rootfstype=jffs console=ttyS0,115200
init=/bin/sh

 kernel bootup message...

             ......
             Using static MTD partitions.
             Creating 2 MTD partitions on "IXP425 Flash":

         Warning: unable to open an initial console.
         Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to
kernel.

 Expecting ur help

      I m struggling  with this problem last 5 days.


Thanks
Prakash
