I have both romfs and sysfs selected; I also just enabled mtd-ram (Map
driver for platform device RAM (mtd-ram)) in the mtd configuration and
"Physical system RAM" in the Self-contained MTD device drivers section that
I had forgotten up to now - but there is still no success. Here is the
log of my kernel:

I did not yet figure out why the "Giving out..." messages are missing
in my kernel...

I leave your log below for comparison.

(Another strange thing I just notice is that I forgot to change the kernel
command line and the kernel is not able to mount the romfs in flash when
I enable initrd, although the root device printed is correct and the 
partition listing is ok, too...)

Best regards,
Wolfgang
