RE: Problem with booting linux

[<Dupas.External@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matbe you should try to write the root file system size in decimal and not in hexadecimal for example:
65D001->6673k
I'm not sure but it's worth trying.

You could use those on http://www.arm.com/linux/ (fully tested) but
they are provided on an "as is" basis, without any warranty or promise
to support.

                                                   ^^^^^^^^^ Wow,
that's a huge image, much bigger than the available flash on the
Versatile :-). Please specify the correct size.

The kernel actually tells you this.
