SubjectRe: INITRD/RAMDISK/SYSLINUX booting fails with new kernel (vs 2.2series)
DateMon, 21 Aug 2000 18:35:09 -0700
(Umm.. no use cc'ing Richard :->)
On Mon, 21 Aug 2000, you wrote:

Strange it worked on all earlier versions of my kernel... emulated the
example from somewhere else... but it always worked
And looking in the sources, it seemed to mean (At least in my frazzled state)
to use ramdisk. But for arguments sake, removed that option and tried it
again. And let's go really crazy and just use the:

append= console=tty0 initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0

and try it again. Hmm.. nope, those weren't the reasons.
Attaching my .config to make sure you are happy with my options selected, and
that I am not doing anything idiotic.

Next place to look?
