Whilst fiddling with initrd and ramdisks, I consistently get 'end_request:
I/O error, dev ...., sector ....' errors when I use 'df', or when the kernel
moves initrd and starts mounting the 'real' root. It sometimes occurs when
using other commands as well.
I can also get this to happen when booted.
(having not touched /dev/ram? since boot)
berserk:~# dd if=/dev/ram0 of=/dev/null
end_request: I/O error, dev 01:00, sector 8192
dd: /dev/ram0: I/O error
8192+0 records in
8192+0 records out
It looks like the ramdisk is not returning 'end of media' or whatever. Is
this the way it's meant to work ?
P.
