it didn't worked, but it works with the debian's mkinitrd

I'll have a look, thanks :) LFS's mkinitrd is a good reference too.

have you missed that cramfs is readonly ?
we actually are missing /dev/root
as "mkrootdev /dev/root" fails  -- read only fs
but it probably needs quite deeper changes

Yes, I missed that, sorry about that :-/ It was a bit tired, I haven't even slept an hour last night ...

will someone hear me please.
i posted about the same issue last time we spoke about replacing initrd
fs.
you need a writable dev!
for devfs this is easy
without devfs it is not!
if you use 2.4 with LVM1 you also need a writable /etc (this requrement
can be lifted with LVM2, i believe)

I am trying to find a way around it, probably my mkinitrd which already
creates device nodes on the fly has only to be slightly tuned: mount a
tmpfs on /dev and create the nodes i forgot about.
I will try to add cramfs/tmpfs support if someone kindly notices the
fact i am doing it, if this stuff is not scheduled to be merged
sometimes then i will not bother.
