In message [ref] you wrote:
We would want to use a Compact Flash card with VFAT file system to boot
our system, so we need to store a linux kernel image and an initrd image
on it.
Did you read http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/RootFileSystemInAReadOnlyFile ???
U-Boot can load linux kernel image and initrd from Compact Flash to RAM.
No need to waste memory on a (big) ramdisk.
We haven't choose already the initrd file system type, but CRAMFS is an
option. However, as I mentioned in the previos message, a CRAMFS initrd
doesn´t boot in our board.
cramfs makes no sense on a ramdisk image. Use ext2.
