I think some people are confused on what a RAMDISK is... It's not the same as tmpfs. A ramdisk is used by the kernel to decompress the initrd (initial ramdisk) for booting. Runnix does not have an initrd but AstLinux does (to find the root filesystem, etc) and it's not the same thing as the various tmpfs filesystems that are used. This error is probably from a while back when additional e2fsck capability, etc was added to the AstLinux initrd. We probably need a bigger ramdisk as a result. This can be changed in the kernel config (at compile time) or with the ramdisk_size parameter. Try adding something pretty huge like: ramdisk_size=8192 to your KCMD line for your runnix config file. That should resolve it. We should then update the default kernel config to use a larger ramdisk. -- Kristian Kielhofner http://blog.krisk.org http://www.submityoursip.com http://www.astlinux.org http://www.star2star.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
