Booting kernel from sd card

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi,

 

i 'am trying to build a sd card with Linaro from scratch. I have been to able to generate my boot.bin with first stage bootloader, bitstream and u-boot (from xilinx repository). I also have compiled my kernel (lastest version in xilinx repository) compiled the devi-tree file supplied with the kernel and setup my uEnv.txt with bootargs and bootcmd.

U-boot can load the kernel and boot it, but as soon as the kernel tries to mount a filessystem from sd card it crashed with the following message :

 

VFS: Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
0100           16384 ram0  (driver?)
0101           16384 ram1  (driver?)
mmcblk0: mmc0:aaaa SL08G 7.40 GiB
 mmcblk0: p1 p2
0102           16384 ram2  (driver?)
0103           16384 ram3  (driver?)

010e           16384 ram14  (driver?)
010f           16384 ram15  (driver?)

1f02             128 mtdblock2  (driver?)
1f03            6016 mtdblock3  (driver?)
1f04            4096 mtdblock4  (driver?)
b300         7761920 mmcblk0  driver: mmcblk
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

 

 

I first suspected that the default device tree config for zedboard does not have a correct clock configuration for the sdhc peripheral. But adding clokc frequency to the dts file did not work. Any idea of what i'am doing wrong ?

Thanks

    I have tried to put root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 and used the zynq-zed device tree configuration, and this is what i have :

     

    VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0p2" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6        
    Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
    mmc0: new high speed SDHC card at address aaaa                                  
    mmcblk0: mmc0:aaaa SL08G 7.40 GiB                                               
     mmcblk0: p1 p2                                                                 
    1f00            1024 mtdblock0  (driver?)                                       
    1f01            5120 mtdblock1  (driver?)                                       
    1f02             128 mtdblock2  (driver?)                                       
    1f03            6016 mtdblock3  (driver?)                                       
    1f04            4096 mtdblock4  (driver?)                                       
    b300         7761920 mmcblk0  driver: mmcblk                                    
      b301           16033 mmcblk0p1 00000000-01                                    
      b302         7745855 mmcblk0p2 00000000-02 

     

    I am not sure but it seems to indicate that the sd card is detected after the kernel tried to mount the filesystem ...
