Hi,
I am trying to port kernel 2.6.19 onto my 7200 with the help of old
messages. Here is what I did and what I am confusing about:
1. I use "fis delete" command to erase current kernel image 2.4 on my
7200.
2. I followed Christ¡¯s guide and get zimage compiled successfully.
3. Use "load -m xmodem -r -b 0x218000" to download zimage into flash.
Then created a portion called zimage in flash
When I reboot my 7200 I realized I did not bundle root file system
since a panic showed up:
"No file system to mount, tried ext2¡±.
Then I download mtd utility onto my host and use mkfs.jffs2 to create
a root file system image which I named jffs2.image. Now how can I
bundle this image in the kernel zimage?
I want to do it this way because I think TS-7200 flash device is
divided into three partitions and only the second partition
(mtdblock1) will keep both linux zimage and my jffs2 root file system.
There is not way to keep zimage and root file system separately in the
flash. I cannot tell redboot to go fetch linux kernel in one partition
and then execute the root file system from another one.
So am I thinking it in the wrong way? I did not try TFTP boot or HTTP
boot since I want to study jffs2.
Thanks
