RAMDISK: ran out of compressed data

[Siva Prasad]

Hi,

The same ramdisk works fine for 2.6.15 kernel. We are just upgrading to
a new version, and would like to get that ramdisk to work on the new one
as well.

Can you please elaborate on what you mean by compression format. Mine
currently use the standard .gz extension/compression.

Thanks
Siva

I think it's not a kernel problem but a problem related with the 
compression method instead. Check out how you are compressing the
ramdisk.
