Hi Sascha, hi Alexander,

rootwait parameter in bootargs did not helped. I compiled barebox and
kernel Image from busybox. I added in busybox extra defconfig
parameter for the imx53 board for barebox. No extra pachtes. Have sdma
module in root partion in /lib directory, but it never change-roots to
that partition anyway.

With u-Boot the same bootargs are OK. My new project requires to use
barebox.

Output of devinfo global [1] and bootlog [2]

Greetings,

Adam
