Initramfs on AMD DB1550 Board

["Charles C.K.Lai" <cklai@itri.org.tw>]

I downloaded kernel 2.6.14 from Linux-MIPS,

and compiled with gcc-3.4.4 and mipssde-6.02.03 toolchain.

 

I put the target directory at /init,

run gen_initramfs_list.sh with /init to a text file,

and assigned this text file to the initrd for cpio.

 

After compiled, loaded, and ran,

I got the message below,

Would someone tell me how to set the root parameter?

Thanks a lot!
