JFFS2 as root FS

Hello,

my target is PPC405. When configuring it to start from a root FS JFFS2, I get a message "Kernel panic: No init found.".

It seems not to be enabled to run the /sbin/init program.

My stages were:

As a result, I get a jffs2 image, which I've burned by debugger to a flash.

Only for test, the mount command to mount the jffs2 works well. I see the FS folders and files.

May be, somebody has any idea?

Thank you very much.

Does your system have both the Flash drive and the JFFS driver built-in (not modules)?
Is there a /sbin/init on the JFFS filesystem?

Are the libraries needed by the /sbin/init program present on the JFFS filesystem?

You can check the dynamic libraries needed by it by running the ldd command on the executable.

My Debian for the PC tells:

libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001a000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

The dynamic loader (/lib/ld-linux.so) needs some configuration files as well, see the ld.so manual page.
