Update: Apparently not :-(. I can generate the kernel but it appears that linux in general knows nothing about a yffs filesystem. I can generate the kernel but it won't read the yffs filesystem. Sigh. I suppose I need to figure out how to generate a root filesystem in jffs2 and get it loaded into na...

Disregard Previous ?!? It appears that this may have been massively simpler than I have been persuing. I copied over the appropriate(?) config_ to .config and ran menuconfig adding ext2/3 and ran xkmake on it and I seem to have ended up with a kernel!

How have you installed your cross compiler? The name of the gcc command is likely to be different (ie it may not be armv4tl-softloat-linux-gnueabi-gcc). You'll need to update your xkmake script accordingly. If you can't get it to work I can compile a kernel for you. Just let me know what options yo...

Found I did have the source for the kernel on the CD the board came with. Same results. Starting to wonder if I do have a cross compiler as I tried this to see what would happen: ./xkmake make: armv4tl-softloat-linux-gnueabi-gcc: Command not found scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/arm/Kconfig * * Restart...

Well, sigh, to no avail. I got the kernel source from: http://www.friendlyarm.net/downloads Linux 2.6.29 (2009-07-08) 71 MB Unpacked that and set the symbolic link to it (/usr/src/linux). copied the config_mini2440_n35 to .config and ran ./xkmake xconfig and added ext2 and ext3 and saved and exited....

Thanks for the pointers Steve! I forgot to mention I have the FriendlyARM mini2440, assuming that makes a difference. I got the compiler that came on the CD working but not sure that is going to work for a kernel, although it seems like it should. I've been through so much of this that I am a bit co...

Hi All, My board was supposed to have ext2 support and for my app I need that on the SD card. The FAT will only mount as root:root and that will simply not work for my application. As the board comes ext2 formatted cards are not recognized. Would probably have the same problem with ext2/3 on a USB d...
