What other informatin would be useful? This has got me stumped. The
ramdisk support in the kernel seems to be working OK. I booted the
system up with an nfs mounted root partition and did the following:
#dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 bs=1k count=4096
#dd if=/fs of=/dev/ram0 (fs is my filesystem image)
This went off without a hitch so I tried mounting /dev/ram0:
#mount /dev/ram0 /mnt
also fine and when I look in /mnt the filesystem looks OK too.
Thanks,
Andy
