Hi
I use this cmd line:
ip=bootp; root=/dev/hda2 rw initrd=0xa1200000,0x400000 console=ttyS00,115200n8
Why do you need a ramdisk when your root filesystem is on an IDE device?
It is on CF card.
I have to load modules for the PCMCIA support, then start cardmngr which configures the CF card as and IDE drive.
Here is relevant the log: -------------------------- RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 Freeing initrd memory: 4096K VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
