After various attempts I found that the problem is connected to the RAM drive. As a matter of fact I had deactivated this support while configuring the kernel with no other action on the filesystem section of the configuration file. What's more, if I boot the standard 2.4.5 kernel as it comes from Bunk's stuff, it works greatly. If I boot it with the option ramdisk=8000 or whatever more than 4096 it works greatly all the same, whilst If I boot the standard kernel with the option ramdisk=0 *IT GIVES ME THE SAME, IDENTICAL ERROR AS ABOVE* and dies. In your valuable opinion, is this a bug? If not, what actions should I take? Vittorio
