We have using the iMx8MQ custom board while booting the board from emmc it was stuck in the kernel and showed the Kernel panic errors. Attached log for reference

Hi @Saravanans1,

I hope you are doing well.

One can rebuild the journal but you will need a Linux machine to do it.

One can check if the kernel parameter for root= is pointing to the correct partition.

One can try to re-image the card and try again.

If you are using a driver on u-boot, you need to match the version on kernel side.

In other words, you might have to use the same version among u-boot, kernel, and rootfs to prevent boot failure issues.

Thanks & Regards,

Dhruvit Vasavada

Hi,

We have flashed the binary again using uuu tool in serial download mode. Now the kernel panic problem is solved.
