Booting debian on mipsel custom kernel 2.4.0
I am trying to boot woody/main/disks-mipsel/3.0.14-2001-09-30's
root.tar.gz using a custom kernel built for the Galileo Gt-64240 system
controller and a QED-RM5261A cpu.
I have successfully run RedHat-based distros on this board with this
kernel.
I always end up with:

I have tried various changes to fstab such as:
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
and
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
.
I do not have an initrd set up, but what I've read in the mail archives
leads me to believe that that is not necessary. I also have not enabled
kernel modules in my kernel build.
I'm not very familiar with busybox. Is that where I should
concentrate? Are there debug message switches for it?
Or, is a 2.4.0-based kernel more likely to be the problem?
