Alan, Andries, IBMers,
Here are the documentation patches that relate to the initrd problem I reported previously. (The mke2fs command had to specify -b 1024, or it couldn't be mounted at boot time by the kernel.) This submission is against the 2.4.18 kernel. If they're acceptable, I'll do another one for the 2.2.20 version.
There was a little bit of scope creep here. :) The instructions in linux/Documentation/Configure.help said to run a spell-checker against the file before submitting any patches for it. Clearly, that hasn't been done in a while, so my patch also has miscellaneous spelling corrections in it for things completely unrelated. After having spent a couple of hours wading through the spell checking process, I can understand why it doesn't get done much. :(
Finally, there were a couple of Linux/390 items that I thought could be a little clearer, were wrong, or didn't exist at all. So, I've also submitted changes for CONFIG_DASD, CONFIG_DASD_FAST_IO, CONFIG_IUCV, and a completely new entry for CONFIG_LCS.
I tried to make similar modifications to linux/Documentation/initrd.txt, and to /usr/man/man4/initrd.4, to try to cover all places someone might look if they were having the same problem I did.
Please let me know if there's anything I need to correct, modify, whatever.
