Hello,
On an embedded system, I use two ramdisks. They are both
16 megabytes in size. I can create them interactively in
the normal way with mke2fs. However, when the system is
booted using isolinux, the RAM disks become corrupted.
Apparently isolinux.cfg's ramdisk_size (not documented,

Hello,
In linux-2.6.16.24, there is a problem with kernel threads

When nash is executing /initrd/linuxrc in the initial RAM disk
