I am trying to get a linux kernel with a linux rootfs running on an imx51 Freescale board.

I compiled linux kernel, root file system and u-boot and copied the image to SD-card: partition 0: boot partition 1: rootfs and linux kernel

However I have the following error:

    Checking the DIP switches, I realized that the switch was set to boot the SDcard from the bottom slot while I had all along booted from top slot. Thus, it solved my problem
