The ramdisk devices /dev/ram[0-7] and /dev/initrd are correct. > The last time I heard a bug report like this was when they set ramdisk=0 in their lilo.conf - which in 2.0.x causes the ramdisk driver to think that the ramdisks should be nullified (ramdisk=x now sets the maximum size of the ramdisk.) I sent in a patch which would override this for ramdisk=0, but I don't know if it got in...
Please check your config files for ramdisk=0 or ramsize=0. If the ramdisk still dosen't work, please tell me and I'll look into it...
