board memory is 2GB.  I am creating ramdisk using genext2fs tool ,
seems that it can create the filesystem upto 8MB not beyond it.

This is the command i am executing:
genext2fs -b 4683776 -m 0 -N $inode_count -d /tmp/rootfs ramdisk.img
genext2fs: not enough memory for filesystem
 
Will try to create ramdisk without using genext2fs and see what happens.

I think the only size restriction for Ramdisk is the size of your
physical memory. on most live CDs, it automatically uses all
available RAM as a Ramdisk. How much memory do you have in your
embedded board?
