I use initramfs for a rootfs. Works OK, although it seems like it wastes a lot of ram caching the initramfs files on access which I have no idea how to make it stop doing (it is totally stupid to do that after all). I network boot using tftp using a uimage containing a kernel and an initramfs archive. I wish I knew how to find out what is using what ram, given I would love to get my missing ram back. Loosing 25% of ram to caching or something of a ramdisk is not nice when you have 8MB to start with. -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
