Hi!

Using Woody and a vanilla 2.4.20, I cannot boot with an initial ramdisk.
The kernel was built by
make-kpkg --initrd --config menuconfig --append-to-version -fwrs
kernel_image
I tried both lilo:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-fwrs
        label=linux
        read-only
        initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.20-fwrs
and grub

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-fwrs root=/dev/hda2 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.20-fwrs
but with the same effect:

RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
Freeing initrd memory: 860k freed
cramfs: wrong magic
Booting the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel from the distribution works fine.

The following options were used when building the kernel:

- - Loopback device support
- - RAM disk support (4096 Default RAM disk size)
- - Initial RAM disk (initrd) support
- - Compressed ROM file system support
- - ROM file system support
After booting the kernel

mount -o loop /boot/initrd.img-2.4.20-fwrs /mnt

works fine without any additional modules being loaded.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA,

Kurt
