Even better would be to report the bug ;-/
I can't reproduce it here. 2.6.0-test8 vanilla, so far (last 15 minutes)
tried with
* compressed initrd image
* plain ext2
and I'll try romfs as soon as I hunt down mkfs for that animal. All
appears to be working...
What did it say before the "typical message"? Specifically, were there
any lines starting with RAMDISK:?
.config would be also useful.
