Where did you find this ? I quote from the version in linux-2.4.2-ac22 " Now, the initrd can be unmounted and the memory allocated by the RAM disk can be freed: # umount /initrd # blockdev --flushbufs /dev/ram0 # /dev/rd/0 if using devfs " I guess I assumed the above has to be put in /linuxrc as it follows other commands which do go in the /linuxrc. The assumption is not quite correct as I have since found out.
