In that case please recompile your kernel without cramfs. Otherwise
it'll destroy anything that doesn't use 8K blocks.
You can turn it back on in 2.6 as cramfs there doesn't change block
sizes anymore.
In all cases, you still need to make sure that the block size of
your ext2 filesystem matches that of the the RAM disk driver.
