[Gumstix-users] "Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(31,1)" Error

[Ian Y. <d2...@ya...>]

Hi there,

So I have just recompiled a kernel and copied it onto
the gumstix(NOT replacing the original) .

So I got to the U-boot(ver 1.2.1) prompt, and did
"fsload a2000000 (new Image) " and then bootm.

So I got the usual expected message

"Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root
fs on unknown-block(31,2)" 

to which I would do 
"set bootargs console=ttyS0,115200n8 root=1f01
bootfstype=jffs2
saveenv
bootm"

But then , now I would instead get : 

"
jffs2: Too few erase blocks (2)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root
fs on unknown-block(31,1)
"


I have found only one post on the mailing list about
this issue and it mentions not to use jerase, and use
erase. I have tried re-flashing the Gumstix with a
factory image and followed the procedure to do so
strictly from the wiki, but now I keep getting the
above error on unknown-block(31,1) 

Did I jeopardize the U-boot by any chance?

Thanks
Ian
