Dear All,
         I am using MIPS32 AU1350 processor board with 2MB of NOR Flash, I have programmed u-boot and Linux kernel in NOR Flash. U-boot is working able to boot linux kernel but not able to mount root filesystem from SDRAM.

I have created uRamdisk and also passed boot arguments.

Below is the error log. let me know whether I am missing something.
