Okay, I found and installed genromfs. That got a ramdisk built. Unfortunately, it was too big. Fortunately, lilo's ramdisk=xxx option solved that problem. Unfortunately, after the booting kernel says that it found a romfs file system, it says: cramfs: bad magic So how do I get the kernel to access a romfs initrd image? Or is there a way to make a cramfs filesystem? (Recall that I'm trying to build from vanilla kernel sources (2.4.20), not from Debian-patches sources (latest 2.4.18 in woody).) Thanks.
