Porting Andoid on A1200 MING

Rootfs problem:
Check either is you configured properly the rootfs on the SD or in NFS.
If your kernel is awaiting another rootfs location .. etc.
We don't know your confiuguration, what kernel you are using , your command line... How to help you?

So:
>kernel panic -not syncind : vfs:unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2)

Still not sufficient, we need the 5-7 lines before this.

Any news, are you sure your configuration suit(ed) what your expected?

Hi guys. I'm new in the comunity... Great work and nice comunity. Now I follow this guideline but I have a problem when i try to compile boot_usb, after ./configure && make i have this error:

checking for asm/setup.h... configure: error: Could not find kernel headers, use --with-kernel-dir=DIR option

Can help me with this? Thanks

PD: Sorry for my english

Getting Started - OpenEZX
Here it is explained...
you need a recent kernel to point to its path, with the "-with-kenrel-dir" modifier.
It's annoying, but needed. You could for example use the openezx kernel:

 
git clone git://git.openezx.org/openezx.git

See this page: http://wiki.openezx.org/Kernel_hacking_-_linux-2.6 if you want to really use your cloned kernel to build a 2.6 kernel for your phone.

when I am doing the patching stuff I get this :

babak@ubuntu:~/making/linux-2.6.24/patches$ patch  –p2 <../ ***.patch
patch: a1200-flip.patch: extra operand
patch: Try `patch --help' for more information.
babak@ubuntu:~/making/linux-2.6.24/patches$

OpenEzx patches are located in the same folder !
what should i possibly do ?

[bmoqimi]

I fixed all little by little but this one cant be fixed

this is what i get when I type "make -f patches/Makefile.openezx"
help me please

*** You have not yet configured your kernel!

copy and rename the config file to .config to the root of the kernel tree, and type make ARCH=arm oldconfig
This is why you get this message.
You have that Kernel hacking - linux-2.6 - OpenEZX page that is helpful.
Or you need to do a "make clean" or better "make mrproper"
