I've banged my head enough and now I need to ask.  How do I get the
2.6.27.4 kernel with the matt-4 patch to recognize the CompactFlash as
a root partition?  I can load the kernel via tftp but when I execute
it the kernel panics as it never finds the /dev/sda1 partition.  Do I
need to use an initrd image with a kernel module?  Can the device
support be monolithic and what features do I need to turn on?  I did
use the ts7200_defconfig as my kernel config when building.

We have about 2 dozen of these units that were manufactured for a
company called JumpNode that is no longer in business.  We would like
to use them with the 2.6 kernel but I can't get past this one last issue.

I am more than willing to send one to who ever can provide a working
solution (you don't need to do the work - just tell me now ;-).

They are a variation of the ts7250 with a 512 Meg CF card, dual usb,
eth100, modem and 128 Meg (kernel ignores 8192K 8 times - a fix for
that would be nice as well ;-).

steve.ladendorf at spanlink.com if anyone is interested.

Thanks!
