I've made one initrd to try. But when executing at /sbin/init, linux halts. Output log is as following: RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 Freeing initrd memory: 3687k freed VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 64k freed Warning: unable to open an initial console. [end] By the way, using initramfs, can I have rw root fs on ramdisk? tks zhu --- Dave Aubin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
