Ramdisk : Linux 2.6 : U-boot :: RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768) 52428800

[Matias Sundman (AS/EAB)]

Hello,
I am trying to get a U-boot multi-image to function properly for my
custom board.
I've had it working with the 2.4 kernel but having problems with 2.6.

Here is what I get;

This is the way I build the Multi-Image;

#!/bin/bash
clear
echo 'Producing Multi Image File'
echo 'You are root RIGHT?!'
dd if=/dev/zero of=ramdisk bs=1k count=500000
mke2fs -F -v -m0 ramdisk
mount -o loop ramdisk /mnt/initrd2/
cp -a /tftpboot/rootfs_mxb4_1/* /mnt/initrd2/
umount /mnt/initrd2
gzip -9 ramdisk
echo 'Name of the MultiImage: '
read name
mkimage -n $name -A ppc -O linux -T multi -C gzip -d
vmlinux.gz:ramdisk.gz $name
echo 'Well, we are kinda done'
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------

I configured the Kernel to have 1 ramdisk with the size of 50M , however
I tried various combinations
of 16 Ramdisk and 4M and 8M .. nothing seems to work for me today ...

Happy for any tips to point me in the right direction.

Cheers // Matias
