Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: I am trying to build a small initrd, with a linuxrc that does something. Does somebody have such a ramdisk.image available? Or even some suggestions on what to do? I started off by trying to make bash my /linuxrc. Bash required ld.so.1, which required libc.so.2, etc.... This occupied more the 4MB. At that point the /dev/ram on the machine I was building the ramdisk started giving problems - If I built a bigger /dev/ram, after umount, dd would only read the first 4MB. is there something magical about 4M for ramdisks? So I'm stuck.............. HELP!!!!!!! :) Mayan [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
