Re: [SD4L-user] Cannot mount containers in Ubuntu 8.04

[Jonathan C. <jco...@ro...>]

Hello, Hans,

Fortunately, I have kernel 2.6.24-16 available, so I now boot from that. 
The also upgrade included 2.6.24-18, which was the default. I didn't 
realize that ScramDisk had to match the kernel that exactly. ScramDisk 
works fine now.

Thanks.
