the installation script first checked whether there
is a directory
/etc/init.d/boot.d
in that case it would have tried to install the start
script with help of the executable /sbin/insserv
as /etc/init.d/boot.scramdisk. But I think this isn't
the case for all Redhat type distributions.
The second attempt of the installation script was to
test whether there is a directory /etc/rcS.d and
to install the start script with help of
/usr/sbin/update-rc.d
I just checked my CentOS 5 and there is no /etc/rcS.d
either. So this is probably the reason that installation
of the start script failed.

In the packaging script for fedora distributions
(scramdisk-fc.spec) I'll do the following which I would
advise you to try in your case by hand (as user root).

First copy from the utils subdirectory of the sources
the file scramdisk.init with the new name scramdisk
to the directory /etc/rc.d/init.d i.e. in the sources
directory do

cp utils/scramdisk.init /etc/rc.d/init.d/scramdisk

Then, change to /etc/rc.d/rc5.d:

cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d

and create two soft links by the commands

ln -s ../init.d/scramdisk S80scramdisk
ln -s ../init.d/scramdisk K04scramdisk

(with capital S and capital K). That should suffice
in order that your systems calls the scramdisk start
script with parameter start whenever it enters runlevel
5 and with parameter stop whenever it leaves runlevel 5.

Best regards
