Is the ramdisk size big enough to hold your initrd? I'm no really sure what the difference is. initrd.gz is a compressed file with a minix on it. Its created automaticly with build-initrd.sh from loop- aes package. the ramdisk is 4096 which should be sufficient and yes the kernel has intrd support. >regards - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
