[Angstrom-devel] 3.0.17 cannot boot on Beagleboard

[Kövesdi György]

Hi,

I tried to compile the current (jan 21 2012) version of Angstrom, with
the kernel 3.0.17+ for my Beagleboard, but the currently generated MLO
and u-boot does not boot at all, just hangs immediately after reset.
Using older versions of MLO and u-boot (from an older image generated by
Narcissus), the kernel starts boot but fails this way:

[    4.182769] VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0p2" or unknown-block(179,2)
[    4.190246] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:

[    4.248626] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2)

The precompiled kernel and u-boot (demo image for Beagle) does the same.
Replacing the kernel to 2.6.39 or 2.6.32 it works perfectly (with older MLO/u-boot). All the
kernels contain the driver for ext3 filesystem (which is my root) and the MMC block device. It is possible that there is a wrong setting in my boot environment, but i could not find such. (Appended to the end of mail)
Thanx in advance
