移植linux内核到s3c6410(根文件系统加载失败问题解决：Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs)

异常打印： 

List of all partitions:

No filesystem could mount root, tried:  ext2

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)

定位步骤：

1、是否内核参数里的initrd的地址和大小不对？

      u-boot的处理：setup_initrd_tag，initrd_start/initrd_end是根据bootm参数的第二个地址然后解析头（image_header_t）而得来的，所以这个参数不应该有问题才对。

#ifdef CONFIG_INITRD_TAG
 if (initrd_start && initrd_end)
  setup_initrd_tag (bd, initrd_start, initrd_end);
#endif

内核的处理：

ATAG_INITRD

static int __init parse_tag_initrd(const struct tag *tag)
{
 printk(KERN_WARNING "ATAG_INITRD is deprecated; "
  "please update your bootloader.\n");
 phys_initrd_start = __virt_to_phys(tag->u.initrd.start);
 phys_initrd_size = tag->u.initrd.size;
 return 0;
}

__tagtable(ATAG_INITRD, parse_tag_initrd);

 

bootargs: initrd = start,size

 

static int __init early_initrd(char *p)
{
 unsigned long start, size;
 char *endp;

 start = memparse(p, &endp);
 if (*endp == ',') {
  size = memparse(endp + 1, NULL);

  phys_initrd_start = start;
  phys_initrd_size = size;
 }
 return 0;
}
early_param("initrd", early_initrd);

 

优先级也是bootargs>ATAG_INITRD,但是我没有在bootargs里定义initrd参数，所以默认从文件里去读应该不会有什么问题的。

而且加了打印也确认这个start和size是OK的。

 

2、研究initrd启动流程

由于我使用的是cpi
