Help! I'm trying to boot a 7350 into Debian Sarge on a USB drive, but get a
(Redboot, apparently) error message:
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or 03:01
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01
I fdisk'ed and formated my USB drive EXT2, downloaded and untarred
debian-sarge-usb_default.tar.gz to the USB drive, using a PC running Debian
Squeeze. An ls -l command to the mounted USB drive on that PC showed the same
directory tree I see for ARM Sarge for NFS on my Linux server (and which a 7250
boots okay).
I configured Redboot fconfig according to the TS ARM Linux manual with:
fis load vmlinux
exec -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 ip=192.168.1.52 root=/dev/hda1"
The 'Please append a correct "root=" boot option' message seems to indicate
that Redboot doesn't like /dev/hda1, but it also doesn't like /dev/sda1. My USB
drive is plugged into the lower USB port.
Does anyone have any idea what I should use to boot to the USB?
Thanks in advance.
