I had a simular problem when I enabled the Ramdisk and cramfs when I
went to 2.4.9. I thought I would see what all the initrd stuff was
about. So I de-selected all the initrd items and compiled without it.
BTW I compile the old way, not with make kpkg, and I get the kernels
from kernel.org. Anyway I didn't get those errors anymore.
ISTR reading somewhere that there is a problem with cramfs. I may be
wrong on that tho.
