new (testing) image

I flashed the latest u-boot and uImage, and flashed a debian rootfs...
When starting up, it stops at

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)

Any idea why this is happening? Some odd change in uboot or uImage
making the xburst flash overwrite something?
