Hey Dick,
where exactly (on which file system) is Xu supposed to create the device
nodes? ;-)
Xu's problem is, he can't mount his _root_ filesystem in the first place.
Therefore I doubt it'd help to have some device nodes somewhere ...
Xu,
all answers to your posting commented on your kernel command line. The command
line you quoted contains "root =dev/ram0".
You probably meant to write "root=/dev/ram0". To not waste our time, please
clarify if this was a typo before asking further questions.
regards,
Uli
