    In hoping to solve my kernel issues, I'd like to use the SD or Compact Flash cards to hold the rootfs of Linux.

    Unfortunately, I am having three issues that a linux amateur like me can't figure out.

    one - how do I get the litekit to see the SD card? I preformatted the card using a different linux box and put an ext3 file system on there. Is that the right thing to do? Is there some driver I should turn on when I compile the kernel?

    two - same thing but compact flash. Not sure what to do, or if the zImage is capable of mounting it so I have rootfs at boot time.

    finally, when I do get the OS to load I note that I can only run commands that originate in busybox. I have some ARM compiled C binaries that I want to run but the system says "file not found" I can more the files, do "strings" on the files, etc. I know the fool thing is there! But ./myfile won't work. I have no idea what I should be doing.
