Hi everyone,

I want to use ramdisk to boot my filesystem, as I can't use NFS and harddisk.

I have load the ramdisk into the ram memory (start address :0x4000000)

and in the boot options I specified : root =dev/ram0 initrd=0x4000000

but the kernel said it can not find any file system on it.

Here is the information I can supply :
U-Boot 1.2.0 (Aug 31 2007 - 20:54:55)

*** Auto-detects ethernet chip ***



DRAM: 0 kB
## Unknown FLASH on Bank 1 - Size = 0x00000000 = 0 MB
Flash: 0 kB
*** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment

In: serial
Out: serial
Err: serial

Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0

OK

No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext2 cramfs vfat
<0>Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on

Who can give me some hints ? or point me some direction to handle this.

I appreciate this very much.

regards,

Yang
