Some probem in starting up kernel from U-Boot

Hi Justin,

Please see: http://www.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?a...=st&f=18&t=2383 (http://www.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?act=st&f=18&t=2383)

Freeing unused kernel memory: 60k freed (0x1188000 - 0x1196000)

Warning: unable to open an initial console.

Kernel panic - not syncing: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.[/b]

This is due to the bugs in the 1.4 fs/cramfs/inode.c. Basically, the code doesn&#39;t correctly access the offset and

namelen bit fields in the cramfs_inode struct (as well as some others). Soooo ... it can&#39;t even create

a good offset to the root directory inode from the superblock -- which is why the kernel can&#39;t even find the /dev/console.

Anyway, see the URL above ... the fix is pretty simple.
