Greetings all,

I have been able to port to U-boot 2009 successfully and am able to boot Linux 2.6.27 via NFS using a flattened device tree. I am now stuck trying to boot a CRAMFS version from flash (AMD nor). I found that U-boot1.2 used a MTD map that is compiled for the board. Is this still the way to mount and map the flash in U-Boot 2009?

I have defined the flash partitions in the device tree source, but it does not seem to get used. am I missing a step or a config setting?

Even though Im trying to boot CRAMFS, the console output keeps refering to NFS as mounting point. my Kernel command line is: root=/dev/mtdblock0 ro console=ttyS0,115200

In the console output i dont see ant CFI interaction. I have been throug my board's default_config basing it closely on tqm8548_defconfig but coulf not get the CFI interface to work.

a would appreciate any help, thanks Hendrik van der Kolf

My console output is:
