i get identical results but the line:
RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768) 10485760
if i try with ramdisk_size=20480 i get:
...
TCP reno registered
TCP bic registered
NET: Registered protocol family 1
NET: Registered protocol family 17
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
<0>Rebooting in 180 seconds..
