Re: What linux Os for a Pc/104 board?
Firstly, Please create a new message for a new topic, and don't just reply to an
existing one.

It looks like your kernel is trying to insert a module, probabaly for your flash.
You should compile your flash/filesystem drivers into your kernel directly.
your root filesystem location may also be wrong, but you won't know until after
you
fix the first problem. (unless you do actually know it's in a different
location, but
then you probably would have already used the root= option :)
