My kernel has ramdisk support, but initializes ramdisks of 0K. Why?
Where this occurs, a kernel message like this will appear as the kernel is booting: Ramdisk driver initialized : 16 ramdisks of 0K size This is probably because the size has been set to 0 by kernel parameters at boot time. This could possibly be because of an overlooked LILO configuration file parameter: ramdisk= 0 This was included in sample LILO configuration files in some older distributions, and was put there to override any previous kernel setting. If you have such a line, remove it. Note that if you attempt to use a ramdisk of 0 size, the behaviour can be unpredictable, and can result in kernel panics.
