does anyone know from which address does the kernel load the initrd? I
mean the default value?

I want to boot the filesystem using a ramdisk. but the I don't know
where to put it in my ram? as I don't have flash , I can only load the
ramdisk into the ram.

and which boot option should I use?

thanks

regards,

yang

hi peter,

thanks for your reply.

my platform is realview_eb_mpcore. the cpu is arm. not i386. and I
check the booting file in the documentation /arm , it is not
specified.

do you have any idea about that?

anyone knows?

thanks,

regards,
