Compiling ODROID-XU 3.11-rc7 kernel, attempt 2

Previously …

Now that I have made my own serial port for the ODROID-XU, creating something omitted from this development board, I’m ready to try to compile my own kernel again. At least I should be able to debug any error messages this time.

I did everything in the previous posting, but this time built a uImage properly:

LOADADDR=40008000 make uImage dtbs
sudo cp arch/arm/boot/uImage /boot/uboot/uImage-3.11-rc7
sudo cp uInitrd /boot/uboot/uInitrd-3.11-rc7
sudo cp arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5410-odroidxu.dtb /boot/uboot/

We end up with (where the bold files are the ones I have built):

$ ll /boot/uboot/
total 33047
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    5510 Sep 27 08:14 boot.ini
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   28603 Dec  7 16:34 exynos5410-odroidxu.dtb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  293168 Sep 27 08:14 u-boot.bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2113488 Dec  7 16:33 uImage-3.11-rc7
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6518598 Sep 27 08:14 uInitrd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8104359 Dec  7 16:36 uInitrd-3.11-rc7
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6518598 Nov  8 17:36 uInitrd-official3.4.5
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5127832 Sep 27 08:13 zImage
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5127832 Nov  8 17:36 zImage-official3.4.5

I boot this by interrupting u-boot and typing the load commands by hand. (Note that /boot/uboot is a FAT partition).

set bootargs console=ttySAC2,115200n8 loglevel=9 earlyprintk root=UUID=ad455a75-609c-4b3c-956b-bcef3ebc4603 ro
fatload mmc 0 43000000 uimage-3.11-rc7
fatload mmc 0 46000000 uinitrd-3.11-rc7
fatload mmc 0 49000000 exynos5410-odroidxu.dtb
bootm 43000000 46000000 49000000

This boots the kernel, but fails trying to find the root filesystem:

Update #2: See the comments section.

Update: It’s because the 3.11 kernel doesn’t support the MMC card. I’ll try later using an external USB drive.
