Re: Can we boot directly from the MMC card

Hey Terry,
I've been mucking around with the instructions a bit and attempting to adapt them for booting from a CF card. I can get the initramfs to come up ok, the init script to execute, root file system to mount, and the switch_root call to kick off (appears to be successfully). Then things appear to go downhill when the /sbin/init on the newly mounted rootfs starts trying to insert modules and kick off services. It basically displays the following after the switch_root and locks up:

mcf25: Unknown symbol cfio_dev_info
mcf25: Unknown symbol register_cf_driver
mcf25: Unknown symbol unregister_cf_driver
I2C: i2c-0: PXA I2C adapter
I2C: i2c-1: PXA I2C adapter
i2c /dev entries driver

Did you ever run into this issue? Are you able to boot all the way with the gumstix-x11-basic rootfs on the card? Any pointers from anyone highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom
