Hi all,

i ask this questions a few months ago but i still have no solution for 
my problem :(

i try to boot linux with a root-fs from flash. i create a jffs2-image, 
download it to flash and
the u-boot "ls" shows me all my files, so i think all is right with the 
image.

BUT, the kernel hangs after mounting the rootfs:

It seems to me, that the kernel does not find ANY file. because the 
/dev/console file is in the image, but the initial console is not found too

any ideas and hints are appreciated
