I am trying to use a drive on a custom storage controller as root drive
in Alpha DS20.
So I tried initrd.
I am getting messages like "initrd overwritten .... disabling it"
during bootup and /linuxrc does not run.
I am using 2.2.10 kernel.( happens with 2.2.12 kernel also).

Below is the message displayed during bootup

.

.
Linux version 2.2.10 (root@alpha-linux) (gcc version egcs-2.91.66
19990314/Linux(egcs-1.1.2 release))
Booting on Tsunami variation Goldrush using machine vector DP264
Command line:  initrd=/boot/initrd bootdevice=sda2
bootfile=boot/init.gz

initrd overwritten (0xefefefefefefefef < 0xfffffc0000776180)
- disabling it.
Memory: 254936k available

What should I do to get it initrd up? Is there any other way to this
up?

Please post a reply to kuldeep@procsys.com as I am not on the
Alpha-linux mailing list.
Please redirect me to any other list if this is not the appropriate
forum.

Thanks,
