After doing this testing I have a side question: If I modify just arch/powerpc/configs/ep88x_defconfig, not all changes are reflected in the resulting .config when i do make ep88x_defconfig; make uImage. I ended up having to modify arch/powerpc/Kconfig, arch/powerpc/configs/ep88xc_defconfig,

I haven't tried CONFIG_BLK_DEV or CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP and am still playing around with the values for CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE. Strangely, the DEV_RAM defines are completely missing from my config so I have to put them in manually... (as opposed to via menuconfig).

This is very interesting. I recently experienced a similar problem when upgrading from 2.6.26-rc6 to 2.6.31-rc1 (torvalds mainline kernel). I didn't had the time to figure out what was happening, so I went back to 2.6.26-rc6. Just for the test, could you try to go back to 2.6.26 and see if
