initrd=initrd-i686.img.gz -> dropped
load_ramdisk=1 -> dropped
prompt_ramdisk=0 -> dropped
ramdisk_size=33888 -> dropped
rw -> kept
root=/dev/ram -> dropped
console=ttyS0 -> kept as you requested

now it panics with:
"RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(33,2)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(33,2)"

ok, let's append root=/dev/ram again, still panics:
"RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
XFS: bad magic number
XFS: SB validate failed
No filesystem could mount root, tried:  reiserfs ext3 ext2 xfs
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)"

have i missed something?

thanks,
VMiklos
