Thanks for your reply. Actually my goal is to boot this linux2.6.29 through SD
card. I have related that I couldn't mount the 'part4' partition because based
on 'linuxrc-sdroot' script, I thought it is needed that this partition be
mounted before the kernel can be booted. This script tries to mount 'part3' but
in this case it should be directed to 'part4'. So I was trying to mount this
'part4' explicitly which failed. This could be a reason for failure to boot
into Linux. So please help me in this regard also please let me know if I not
clear.
Thanks.
