|
| image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-fwrs

| read-only
| initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.20-fwrs
|

|
| kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-fwrs root=/dev/hda2 ro
| initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.20-fwrs
|
| but with the same effect:
|
| RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
| Freeing initrd memory: 860k freed
| cramfs: wrong magic
|
| Booting the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel from the distribution works fine.
|
| The following options were used when building the kernel:
|
| - Loopback device support
| - RAM disk support (4096 Default RAM disk size)
| - Initial RAM disk (initrd) support
| - Compressed ROM file system support
| - ROM file system support
|
| After booting the kernel
|
| mount -o loop /boot/initrd.img-2.4.20-fwrs /mnt
|
| works fine without any additional modules being loaded.
Ok, I found it. I needed the 'kernel-patch-initrd-cramfs'.
