Has anyone really tried this in 2.4.x ?
I've been playing all morning with the 2.4.1 kernel trying to get the physmap.o
__init stuff to run before the rd_load() and
just can't seem to get it done.

the ramdisk driver cannot find the mtdblock device registered when it tries to
load the compressed f/s image from flash.

Help!
