I started playing with drivers/block/rd.c to narrow the problem down. Both
blk_size[MAJOR(device)] and blk_size[MAJOR(device)][MINOR(device)] have null values (
MAJOR(device)=1 and
MINOR(device)=250), which keeps devblocks=0 and causes the loading of the ramdisk to abort with
the error:
RAMDISK: could not determine device size
If I force devblocks=4096 in rd.c
504: if (blk_size[MAJOR(device)])
505: devblocks = blk_size[MAJOR(device)][MINOR(device)];
506: devblocks=4096;
I can get it to work.
I haven't had the chance to see if blk_size behaves the same with the pre-2.1.90 kernels yet.
I have a ppro200 with rh5, the appropriate software packages and libraries for the latest kernels
and 2.1.92 compiled with module support off and smp commented out in the make file.
cheers!
