    Wow, that did the trick, booted nicely with cramfs and a initrd.

    Is there no place to read stuff like this? kernel.org is not very
    informative, it would be nice with a kernel-config-validator that told
    me, "ooops, did you know you dont have any filesystems compiled in,
    should that be nice?" or something like that? Or maybe a list with all
    config options with user comments... perhaps something like this already
    exists?

    best regards and happy new year!
