I cannot do "df" as currently there is no command as the file system is 
not mounted.

I have built 2.6.32.59 as I needed to run the kernel without PAE.
I extracted the kernel on a KVM image, I did
cp /boot/config-2.6.32-279.el6.i686 .config
make oldconfig
make menuconfig
went to HIGH MEMORY Support and changed to 4GB.
did the make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install, make install
That's where I get the 2.6.32.59...

When booting the KVM image with the kernel I built it works fine.
I can even make the CF card look like a USB drive and boot it and it 
works fine.
Its just when I go native CF in the device it says no root file system.

I have centos 5.X CF cards working just fine on my end target, I'm just 
trying to get 6.X to run.

I'm sure its something small I am missing. I just havent found it.

Thanks,
