[U-Boot-Users] Unable to mount root fs

Hello,
Does anyone have a suggestion about this error? I got the same error in the following cases:
no initrd image in flash ( command : bootm 0x40000) multifile containing both kernel and initrd ( command : bootm 0x40000) compressed kernel uImage at 0x4000 and compressed initrd image at 0x120000 ( command : bootm 0x40000 0x120000) compressed kernel uImage at 0x4000 and uncompressed initrd image at 0x120000 ( command : bootm 0x40000 0x120000)

It looks like that you haven't compiled initrd support in your kernel. Make sure that you have Initrd support turned on as well as the support for the filesystem that your initial ramdisk contains.
