using initramfs with ppc

[Pawel Studencki <pstudencki@yahoo.com>]

Hello,
 
I use a custom board with 8xx and kernel 2.6.11 and
try to mount root fs
based on cramfs. I still have problems with mounting
VFS:

VFS: Cannot open root device "mtdblock1" or
unknown-block(31,1)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root
fs on
unknown-block(31,1)

I found, that perhaps the reason is initramfs. How do
you use initramfs on
ppc?
Is it possible to turn off initramfs? If I've
understood correct
"Documentation/early-userspace/README", there is
possibility to boot direct
from flash.

My filesystem for initramfs is very simple in default
"initramfs_list" file:

dir /dev 0755 0 0
nod /dev/console 0600 0 0 c 5 1
dir /root 0700 0 0


do I have to append special files or directories?

thanks for any hints.

regards
Pawel
