[Buildroot] can't find root fs kernel panic

I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
I'm using this morning buildroot (How do I determine the rev #?)
Built for an Atmel at91sam9260 processor and eval board.
I've tried using the ext2, ext2.gz and jffs root filesystems with the 
same results.
Below is an abridged capture from the kernel during boot.
I've tried google, but everything I saw was related to the bootloader 
pointing to the wrong disk.
My u-boot invocation is:
bootp 21500000 linux.gz; bootp 20410000 rootfs.ext2.gz; bootm 21500000
Is the Kernel command line correct?
(I've tried 2 different boards, so I don't think it's h/w.)

Regards,
Joe
