Details - I'm trying to add support for a ZyXEL NSA310 (kirkwood-based NAS), but the kernel does not find the rootfs in the ubi.
The image has kernel+rootfs+rootfs_data in ubi, built with
FILESYSTEMS := squashfs
IMAGES += factory.bin
IMAGE/factory.bin := append-ubi
KERNEL_IN_UBI := 1
If I boot the initramfs (ramdisk) system image while there is a ubi image flashed to nand, it gives this error while booting
[ 1.070706] UBI: auto-attach mtd2
[ 1.073868] ubi0: attaching mtd2
[ 1.083812] UBI: EOF marker found, PEBs from 28 will be erased
[ 1.089971] ubi0: scanning is finished
[ 1.093994] ubi0 error: ubi_read_volume_table: the layout volume was not found
[ 1.101458] ubi0 error: ubi_attach_mtd_dev: failed to attach mtd2, error -22
[ 1.108559] UBI error: cannot attach mtd2
but since ubi isn't necessary for the initramfs image, it works fine and I get to system console.
If I boot the firmware image from nand (and set uboot for booting from ubi, with NO bootargs passed to the kernel), the kernel boots until it finds the same error above, and then it posts this
[ 1.605331] VFS: Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6
[ 1.612865] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
[ 1.621268] 1f00 1024 mtdblock0 (driver?)
[ 1.626346] 1f01 512 mtdblock1 (driver?)
[ 1.631439] 1f02 129024 mtdblock2 (driver?)
[ 1.636521] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
And auto-reboots.
I've tried with bootargs like ubi.mtd=2 but with any bootarg about root= or ubi it simply hangs and does not even start the kernel (shortly after uboot executes the kernel the device restarts).
the ubi partition seems to be OK according to uboot (see output of various uboot commands). Any help appreciated.
