Wait a minute, so the Kernel still thinks my romfs is located in 0x200000 on flash? I generated the filesystem under the command line and placed it at location 0x500000 instead. This is due to the fact that the DSP board has a different config and addresses factory at 0x200000, with that declared in the PTF. Could the Kernel be looking in the PTF and seeing that there's a config already located at 0x200000, therefore thinking there's a size of 0x0 (being 0x200000 to 0x200000)?

How do I then point the Kernel to the right location to find the filesystem?

Thanks for any help,

Matt
