Hi,

(I apologize if the list recieves this(similar) mail twice)

I have jffs2 fs image in flash and would like to mount it when linux 
asks for root fs.Linux gives out:
...
Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 
unknown-block(2,0)
  <0>Rebooting in 5 seconds..ÿ 


and command line is:
Kernel command line: root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=jffs2 rw 
console=ttyS0,115200 mem=64M panic=5

Image is located at 0x2c0000 and u-boot can see it, too:
Ub00t> ls
Scanning JFFS2 FS: ...... done.

  drwxr-xr-x        0 Tue Jul 20 10:38:41 2004 var

But how do I supply this info to u-boot when booting linux?
Is 'fsload' the right way to go? But I would still like to have kernel 
separated from fs image...

Using kernel 2.6.9 here.

regards,
hk
