01:03.43T0mWwhy would a kernel command line of "root=7901" work but "root=/dev/mmc1" fail?

11:22.22prpplagueT0mW: pong
11:22.26prpplagueT0mW: whats up?
11:23.24T0mWprpplague: nm, freakin' busybox insmod was going stupid on me, I think it was the CONFIG_FEATURE_2_6_MODULES was set and I have a 2.4 kernel
11:23.41T0mWprpplague: only took me two hours to find the thing.  :/
11:23.49prpplagueT0mW: hehe
11:23.56T0mWsheeesh!
11:23.59prpplagueT0mW: btdt
11:24.13T0mWprpplague: oh well, right. heh
11:24.32T0mWprpplague: I've got the zipit booting off the mmc drive
11:24.37prpplagueT0mW: cool
11:24.43T0mWkernel is still in flash though
11:24.45prpplagueT0mW: hacked the bootloader?
11:24.51T0mWyeah
11:24.57T0mWcommented out the ATAGS
11:25.12T0mWprpplague: so the kernel command line was valid then
11:25.47prpplagueT0mW: ahh so you mean you are using the mmc for the rootfs?
11:26.01T0mWprpplague: how hard would it be to boot a kernel which is on an EXT3 filessytem of the mmc card?
11:26.15prpplagueT0mW: not hard at all for apex
11:26.18T0mWprpplague: IOW, have the bootloader locate the kernel image an load it?
11:26.36prpplagueT0mW: you can do fat and ext2 in apex , and also in uboot iirc
11:26.37T0mWprpplague: that's an interesting thought...
11:27.05T0mWprpplague: apex will search the boot drive for a kernel image, then load & boot it?
11:27.30prpplagueT0mW: no searching you have to specify the path in the boot command
11:27.37T0mWright
11:27.47T0mWprpplague: like /boot/zImage
11:27.58prpplagueT0mW: generally i have two partitions on sd/mmc
11:28.10T0mWfat + ext3
11:28.10prpplagueT0mW: one for the kernel and ramdisk, the other for storage
11:28.18T0mWwhy two?
11:28.36prpplagueT0mW: just so the partition is small and easy to access
11:29.05prpplagueT0mW: but you can do it anyway you like
11:29.10T0mWoh, so you cut down on thrashing looking for the file inodes?
11:29.11prpplagueT0mW: atleast with apex you can
11:29.15prpplagueT0mW: yea
11:29.19T0mWk
11:29.53T0mWprpplague: I will keep that in mind.  Maybe I will go to the trouble of getting the older JEDEC Flash stuff working.
11:30.41T0mWprpplague: the zipit loader is fairly simple: get the sdram going, print a few messages and GO!
11:35.30prpplagueT0mW: yea
11:35.39prpplagueT0mW: apex isn't too bad
11:35.46prpplagueT0mW: just a little ways up from that
11:35.56prpplagueT0mW: not as complex as uboot imho
11:36.39T0mWYEAH! IT WORKED!
11:36.56prpplague??
11:37.31T0mWprpplague: see, all I have to do is threaten this software that I'm going to ask Dave about the solution and I figure out the problem (busybox insmod)
11:37.36T0mWhehhee
11:37.42prpplaguehehe
