Failed to mount /boot ( PYNQ v2.6)

I built my own image (pynq v2.6) with prebuilt image ( PYNQ rootfs aarch64 v2.6 )
for a custom board with Zynq Ultrascale device

The SD boot failed with the message: end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2)
The problem was the worng Kernel command line, thanks to @yunqu, I could modify Device tree to give correct Kernel command line:

root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 rw earlyprintk rootfstype=ext4 rootwait devtmpfs.mount=1 uio_pdrv_genirq.of_id=“generic-uio” clk_ignore_unused

(root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 to root=/dev/mmcblk1p2)

so now rootfs is mounted but I still get error:

[FAILED] Failed to mount /boot

And I repetedly get the following msg:

You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xbGive root password for maintenance
(or press Control-D to continue):

How should I approch or what should I modify to boot up correctly?

Here is the boot log :

I solved the problem by modifing block argument in /etc/fstab :blush:

Hi,

Am having the same error, can you please tell me how did you solve this problem ?

In case someone still needs the solution, just modify the file “/etc/fstab” in the SD card ( you can open the SD card ext4 filesystem on your linux-based computer, the file /etc/fstab will be there), change the “mmcblk0p1” to “mmcblk1p1”
