Subject: ramdisks, anyone?
Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1999 15:39:40 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9902242039.AA29018@mayan.watson.ibm.com> (raw)
I am trying to build a small initrd, with a linuxrc that does something.
Does somebody have such a ramdisk.image available?
Or even some suggestions on what to do?
I started off by trying to make bash my /linuxrc. Bash
required ld.so.1, which required libc.so.2, etc....
This occupied more the 4MB. At that point the /dev/ram on the
machine I was building the ramdisk started giving problems -
If I built a bigger /dev/ram, after umount, dd would only
read the first 4MB. is there something magical about 4M for ramdisks?
So I'm stuck..............
HELP!!!!!!!
:)
