Hi Chad,

This may not be the same but a similar thing happened to me when trying to
mount a jffs2 root partition while not having jffs2 compiled into the
kernel, the kernel can't mount the root partition so bails out with a 'VFS:
Cannot open root device' error.

What partition are you using? vfat? Was the partition created/formatted
correctly? Did you include vfat support in the kernel? Did you build support
as a module? Drop me an email if you don't know how to check for the option
in the kernel .config (CONFIG_VFAT_FS in the case of vfat) or when you 'make
menuconfig'.

HTH,

Tim
