> Is this a bug or do I have a configuration problem?
Thanks for replies and the rapid solution to the problem. Ramdisks are broken
with the latest kernels if a ramdisk=0 option is passed on booting. Slackware
liloconfig does just that for some reason from the past, making an entry in
lilo.conf:
ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting.
If this is removed, or the value changed to say 4096, ramdisks work as they
should. So my problem was configuration, though I'd say there is a bug there
too - very badly defined behaviour.
