I used Martin Costabel's "big" ramdisk image and a 2.1.125 kernel. There were a few failures during intstall. The main problem I have is that RPM doesn't work; any attempt to use it returns an error "//var/lib/rpm/nameindex.rpm: Invalid argument" Is it the double slash at the beginning of that line? Where is it getting that path? Using --dbpath doesn't seem to help...
