Help about Cogent CSB637 Board.



Hi Everyone,

I am working with Cogent CSB637 Board for last 2 weeks.But I am Stuck at
one point. I am trying to Port Linux on it. I took latest patches from
maxim.org.za/AT91RM9200/2.6/ and maxim.org.za/AT91RM9200/ . I applied
them on kernels (2.4 /2.6). Then I configure the kernel with

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- xconfig

In configuration I am enabling general features only. I have enabled
Serial Console Support for AT91RM9200.Since I am viewing my output on
Hyperterminal.

and compiled the kernel with

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- zImage

then I send the zImage created by it to my board. then i run this image
with this command

startlinux

which is a shell script (which is correct).

Then the problem begins.My kernel shows


Uncompressing Linux..................................................
done, booting the kernel.

Then nothing happens.I have tried many kernels and many patches but the
problem is same.But when I use kernel given at at91rm.com. It goes little
further and shows

"kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-31, errno = 2

VFS: Cannot open root device "1f
Please append a correct "root=" boot option

Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 1f:04
"
Can anyone tell me what is wrong in my steps.

I have another problem. If I successfully booted the linux . What about
the file system (like /bin /proc /sbin). How it will be created? what r
the steps to create it? Please guide in this issue.

Please forward all your suggessions to gaurav_sarode@xxxxxxxxxx
Waiting for your reply.
Bye.

Regards,
Gaurav Sarode.
