Hi there,
I am creating rescue disks and I need to use a ramdisk to create my
root diskette. I am using kernel 2.0.36 and the documentation, in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/ramdisk.txt says that the ramdisk
driver dynamically allocate RAM as needed. It also says that the
ramdisk_size parameter is not needed anymore.
When I create a ramdisk of, say, 8MB, I am getting IO errors
when I use it. Also, fsck indicates that the device is 4MB and
that the super block is wrong at saying that the filesystem has
8192 1K blocks. The system has physically 32 MB of RAM.
The ramdisk was created with a dd command specifing 8192 block of
1KB each (sucessfully).
What is wrong?
Claude
