Probably correct. Did you compile the kernel with the JMB36x driver |
| 13 |
'built-in' (<*>) or as a loadable module (<M>)? In order for the kernel |
| 14 |
to find the root partition, the correct hardware drivers must be |
| 15 |
'built-in'. The modules are in /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/... so if |
| 16 |
the kernel can't find the root partition (no appropriate built-in |
| 17 |
hardware driver) it certainly can't load a module stored under the root |
| 18 |
('/') tree. |
