RAMDISK: incomplete write (ramdisk too small?)

[Wolfgang Grandegger]

Hi,

the following links might be useful on how to build a
ramdisk image containing a working Linux root file
system:

http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/AddingFilesToRamdiskIsNonPersistent
http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5955697568.html

Good luck.

Wolfgang.
