Don't know. Why don't you try either the ramdisk  image  or  the  NFS
root file system that comes included with the ELDK? Both are known to
work fine, and testing should take less than 5 minutes.

How did you create the root file system image, and how did you  write
it to flash?

This doesn't look so good to me. I recommend to disable devfs in your
kernel configuration.

Eventually the kernel does not find the needed  /dev/  entries.  Make
sure what your root filesystem expects. Does it really use devfs?
