Re: RAMDISK: incomplete write (ramdisk too small?)

Hi,

the following links might be useful on how to build a
ramdisk image containing a working Linux root file
system:

http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5955697568.html

Good luck.

Wolfgang.

hi, Albert
   Thanks a lot.
   It doesn't complain now and mounts initrd now. But it still has some
problem.
   It immediately umount initrd and mount disk fs. I think there is no

program

in ramdisk. I only installed busybox into the ramdisk.
   What more is needed to make up of the ramdisk.
Thanks!

hi,all
    I made an initrd but failed to boot.The process about making the
initrd is as follows:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/ramdisk.image bs=1k count=8192

Looks like you're building a ramdisk bigger than 4megs.
The kernel need a RAMDISK_SIZE=8192k command line argument for your
8meg ramdisk to work, I think.
