The last time I heard a bug report like this was when they set
ramdisk=0 in their lilo.conf - which in 2.0.x causes the ramdisk driver
to think that the ramdisks should be nullified (ramdisk=x now sets the
maximum size of the ramdisk.) I sent in a patch which would override
this for ramdisk=0, but I don't know if it got in...
Please check your config files for ramdisk=0 or ramsize=0. If
the ramdisk still dosen't work, please tell me and I'll look into it...
