Hi,
I'm trying to develop a Linux-based system on a Disk On Chip (8Mb).
I've got several problems, and although I've read your mailing list
archive, I didn't find a great solution.
I'm using PeeWeeLinux 0.61.0 distribution.
I build my file system (with DOC driver included as module or as static
in the kernel : both don't work) and put it on the DiskOnChip (by
replacing lilo with doc-lilo in the pwl-target-load script).
I manage to boot on the DOC, but the system is then bloked while trying
to mount the root partition.
It says something like: VFS unable to mount root partition on device
03:02.
Do you know the problem or at least could you answer to the following
questions:
1) Is it possible to put all the file system directly on the Disk
On Chip target ?
2) Is it necessary to use doc-lilo (and a special lilo.conf file)
instead of lilo in the pwl_target_load script ?
3) In the mailing list archive, some say it is necessary to first
put everything on ide partition and then put everything on DOC ?
4) On the web site, it is written: " Currently the loading of
target devices directly attached to the development system are
supported. These include floppy drives, IDE hard drives, scsi hard
drives, M-Systems Disk-On-Chip and CompactFlash devices.".
So what's the best method to load the file system on the DiskOnChip
target ?
Thanks very much for your answer !
