Dear Benoit,

I tried it on 2.6.5-1.358 and it doesn't work. The kernel panicked
after mounted initrd or hang before mounting devfs.... My command was
like this:

/usr/src/mkbootdisk.pl --kernel
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/arch/i386/boot/bzImage 2.6.5-1.358
--new-flavor 2.6.5-1.358 --verbose --modules-dir
/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358custom/ --fs cramfs

ext2 fs initrd is kinda big for initrd.img that's why I use cramfs
though ext2 still gave me a hang.

Best,
