Hai,
          We are using a 4Gb MMC card, with loaded initial boot
image… The problem we are facing is that the kernal boot image is
not loading…The kernel booting is successfull and after which when
we try to mount the MMC card it shows the error"" Kernel panic - not
syncing : Fatal exception in interrupt""" Please if any one have
encountered this problem, and have solved it, My fervent request in
you to post its solution…

Regards,

  • Set the boot arguments for kernel

OMAP3 beagleboard.org # setenv bootargs console=ttyS2,115200n8 ramdisk_size=8192 root=/dev/ram0 rw rootfstype=ext2 initrd=0x81600000,8M nohz=0ff

  • Set boot command as

OMAP3 beagleboard.org # setenv bootcmd ‘mmcinit;fatload mmc 0 0x80300000 uImage;fatload mmc 0 0x81600000 rd-ext2.bin;bootm 0x80300000’;

  • Execute the boot command

OMAP3 beagleboard.org # run bootcm

Up till here it works fine… It displays “Success”

but once the following command is pressed, for mounting the MMC card

[root@beagleboard /]# mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mmc/
[root@beagleboard /]# cd /mnt/mmc/

What kernel are you using? I would not expect kernel panics for mounting an MMC card.
