    Hi,

    I 'am trying to launch linux kernel 2.6.7 with initramfs.

    My pxelinux.cfg/default file looks as follows:
    default a1
    prompt 1
    timeout 600
    label a1
    kernel vmlinuz-2.6.7-1
    append initrd=initramfs_data.cpio.gz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc

    Kernel image vmlinuz-2.6.7-1 and initramfs_data.cpio.gz was loaded
    succesfully by pxelinux.

    Kernel says:
    checking if image is initramfs... it is

    but later occurs an error:
    Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on ram0

    Full log: http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/minicom.cap

    What should I do to run my system?
    Maybe root=/dev/ram0 is not correct?

    Best regards,

    --
