I use a pretty small kernel (floppy is a module) and load initrd from a scsi disk (scsi driver is a module too).
Paul: Since 2.1.91 tries to determine the disk size for multi-disk loads the ramdisk load from HD fails. I added a check to the loader in rd.c:
if(devblocks == 0) devblocks = nblocks+1; to circumvent this problem.
Matthias: My linuxrc runs into "insmod(2.1.71) scsi_mod" and then stops. I do not understand much about kmod but I don't see why a simple insmod should trigger kmod ? Can you give me a hint ?

Thanks & regards, Bjoern
