Hallo, Matthew,

Du meintest am 20.02.02 zum Thema Re: [Trinux-talk] trinux newbie:


> 6) Test it to make surt it boots:

  loadlin bzimage initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0

Doesn't work - sorry.
I've tried "initrd.gz" from a working floppy and the 4 MB packet from  
your website, I've tried some "bzimage"-versions from Kernel 2.4.17  
(bare, ide, net, pcmcia).

"loadlin" works with other distributions.

Error message (in all cases)
VFS: Cannot open root device "ram0" or 1:00
Please append a correct "root" boot option


If I delete the "root=/dev/ram0" entry (it's a but silly) the system  
tells
VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 3:01

(it searches for partition 1 on IDE)
How must I tell trinux to use the ram disk?

Viele Gruesse!
