[uClinux-dev] "Unable to mount root fs on 1f:00" on Palm IIIx

[Raul Aguaviva]

 David, I noticed that the PRC contains strings like the ones below:

--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<
/home/raul/palm/uClinux-dist-old/linux-2.4.x/include/linux/sched.h

--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<

 the path I'm suing to compile the prc is quite long and this makes the prc
size to be 800kb. 
 My question is, why are those paths stored in the PRC binary? This looks to me
like a debug build...

 In the, I believe, unlikely event that these strings had to live in the prc
maybe I should move the uclinux directory so the path is as short as possible 


 Any thoughts?
 Thanks
 Raul
