Don't know. Never ran into this problem. > 2. Does this problem depends on bootloader. Will u-boot fix it? Yes, it probably depends on the bootloader. More exactly, itt depends on the interface between the bootloader and the Linux kernel. U-Boot works fine if your kernel is configured for U-Boot. I am not aware of a problem that needs fixing. > 3. Does anybody succeded to use 2.4.18 with initrd? How? Yes, we did. Many times. We use U-=Boot, and make sure that the kernel interface fits.
