Can't boot OpenEmbedded on Juno R1

Kohei Nozaki

I got an error message "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,2)".

I'm referring Using Linaro's deliverables on Juno .

And I choose OpenEmbedded Minimal filesystem and prebuild binary juno-latest-oe-uefi.zip .

It was going well with LSK 14.02 preinstalled on Juno.

I want to update software version so that I tried the contents in the article.

Does anyone know how to make this work?

Thanks for the help.

    Hi,

    The problem is actually that your USB hasn't been correctly formatted. From your fdisk log:

    Device       Boot      Start        End     Blocks  Id  System

    /dev/sdb1p1  *            63     155646      77792   e  W95 FAT16 (LBA)

    /dev/sdb1p2           155648    6291455    3067904  83  Linux

    We should see /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2, but what you actually have is /dev/sdb1p1 and /dev/sdb1p2. We can confirm that this is the problem by looking at your kernel log. We only see this:

    [    6.597568]  sda: sda1

    When we should see an sda2 there as well. Also, your error message was:

    [    8.284227] VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or unknown-block(8,2): error -6

    Confirming the above.

    I have a feel that what you've done is this:

    $ sudo dd if=<image_file>.img of=/dev/sdb1 bs=64M

    Whereas what you should have done is this:

    $ sudo dd if=<image_file>.img of=/dev/sdb bs=64M

    i.e. point the of flag of dd at /dev/sdb, *NOT* at /dev/sdb1

    Can you try this and see if that works?
