Hi , 

  i got linux-2.4.25 from denx devel cvs kernel , when i try to mount thr root fs , kernel panics giving the down message , 
i have used tis ramdisk image for 2.4.18 stock kernel , 
cant i use the same ramdisk as i have compiled kernel using the same compiler , ?
if not is that i have to create a new ramdisk image ?
 please throw some light on this 
Thanks In Advance

There is no "down message" in your mail.

You should be able to use the same ramdisk image.

                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This image is way too small for a working 2.4.25 system. I guess  you
seriously  misconfigured  the Linux kernel. Probably support for some
needed features (like ext2  file  system,  ramdisk,  initial  ramdisk
etc.) might be missing.
