Hi Ramesh,

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 :)

regards,
