Wolfgang, You were absolutely right!
I modified my kernel as per the patchset and my RAM disk is now loading correctly from FLASH.
I think I'm slowly becoming an 'expert' with a very small 'e' at the front!
Many Thanks,
Luke

Sounds like a known problem to me.
ANY IDEAS? Is there something different between a RAM disk stored in RAM
and a
RAM disk stored in FLASH. Or am I missing a boot argument?
You might have a look at the ARM linux tree on our CVS server. Patchset 2297 might be especially interesting for you.
Best regards,
