Dear linux-kernel mailing list,
I am facing this problem in linux-2.4.1 :-
RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 8192K size
1024 blocksize
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
incomplete distance tree
invalid compressed format (err=1)Freeing initrd
memory: 4096k freed
Is any body seen this problem earlier , any hint .
But this ramdisk works fine with linux-2.2.12 .
Thanks ,
Best Regards,
Jaswinder.
Dear linux-kernel mailing list,
Is there there any change in latest kernel 2.4.1 and old kernels like 2.2.12
with respect to Ramdisk or not .
I mean is there any change in rd.c and or lib/inflate.c .
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards,
Jaswinder.

Dear Mike and others ,
I am using compressed ramdisk , i can not turn off cramfs .
my error messages are very strange and irreregular .

invalid compressed format (err=1)
OR
invalid compressed format (err=2)
OR

Dear Mike and others ,
Sometimes i also get :-
incomplete literal tree
OR
incomplete distance tree
along with
invalid compressed format (err=1)
OR
invalid compressed format (err=2)
OR
crc error
And it is very strange because for the same ramdisk , linux2.4.1 shows me
all the error messages .
I am using Ramdisk of 8 MB on compression it becomes around 1.4 MB.
Please help me.
Thanks ,
Best Regards,
Jaswinder.

Can you point me to a cramfs generation procedure? (never used
cramfs.. know where the docs are, but could use a small time warp)

make ramdisk as you normally do and then compress it by gzip .
You can see documentation on Ramdisk in Documentation/ramdisk.txt if you
have some time ;)

Ok, it's not a cramfs. If you disable cramfs, it will likely
work. There seems to be a (init order?) problem when cramfs is
enabled. For instance, if I enable cramfs here, my minix gzipped
initrd can not mount root.. kernel tries to use reiserfs instead
for some unknown reason. I disable cramfs and all is well.
Since the error message you posted seems to be from cramfs...
