With regards to the initrd.txt hint. (2.4.x kernels)
It does not work with the " root=/dev/rd/0 (with devfs) "
unless { "rd/0", 0x0100 }, is added to the root_dev_names[]
__initdata array; (init/do_mounts.c)
You need to use "root=/dev/ram0" with or without devfs. (or change
init/do_mounts.c). Patches to either code or documentation if you want.
