Thanks, i'll check it out of cvs and have a look.

Aside from this I made an empty ram disk simply to see if the kernel would
mount it.

My configuration is this:
bootargs=mem=32M console=ttyS0,38400
Flash Address 10100000 contains linux kernel image
Flash Address 10200000 contains compressed ram disk

Unfortunately i ran into this error after executing bootm 10100000 10200000:

Linux version 2.6.13-rc2-csb (patrick at gt-server) (gcc version 3.4.4) #1 Wed 
Aug 24 20:29:20 EST 2005
CPU: ARM920Tid(wb) [41129200] revision 0 (ARMv4T)
Machine: Cogent CSB637
initrd (0x10200040 - 0x1020059c) extends beyond physical memory - disabling
initrd

which looks like the ram disk isn't being decompressed into ram from flash.

Is there a simple solution to this problem? does the ram disk need to be
maually decompressed first?

Thanks,

-Patrick
