I've got images building on Alpha, but I can't seem to get the kernel to load the initrd from the second floppy. (The kernel+initrd are about 600k too big for a single floppy.) I've tried various combinations of parameters to the kernel. If I pass "root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1", which is what boot-floppies pass to the 2.2 kernel, I at least get prompted for the second floppy, though it subsequently chokes: VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into RAM disk and press ENTER request_module[block-major-2]: Root fs not mounted request_module[block-major-2]: Root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device "fd0" or 02:00 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:00 If I pass parameters similar to what the x86 syslinux.cfg contains (root=/dev/rd/0 devfs=mount,dall load_ramdisk=1), I never get asked for the second floppy and the kernel panics with "cramfs: wrong magic". It seems like this would be the right thing, except that the initrd hasn't been loaded. Thanks in advance for any hints. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
