I'm affraid it is related to something else though. Sometimes it ends in: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ EXT2-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): ext2_check_page: bad entry in directory #12 : rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=1024, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 Kernel panic: No init found.

How I make my image: dd if=/dev/zero of=ramdisk.image bs=1k count=4096 mkfs.ext2 -F ramdisk.image mount -o loop ramdisk.image mnt sync; sync; sync; sync; sync; sync umount mnt fsck.ext2 -p ramdisk.image gzip -9 ramdisk.image make zImage.initrd Somtimes it starts up till here: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ init started: BusyBox v0.60.5 (2005.12.01-00:25+0000) multi-call binary Please press Enter to activate this console. BusyBox v0.60.5 (2005.12.01-00:25+0000) Built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. sh: can't access tty; job control turned off # ls -l Please press Enter to activate this console.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But even then things are not good... So you can think of corruption of the rootfs but everytime i have checked it on my linux system and nothing is wrong. So perhaps my memory is corrupt? Memory test do not reveal this. If you have any hints or ideas, please share them!!
