Hello, I' trying to make a ramdisk image using the follow script:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram bs=1k count=8192 mke2fs -vm0 /dev/ram 8192 mount -t ext2 /dev/ram /mnt/ramdisk cp -dpRf /root/projetos/ramdisk/ramdisk_ponto_fixo/* /mnt/ramdisk umount /mnt/ramdisk dd if=/dev/ram bs=1k count=8192 | gzip -v9 > ramdisk.image.gz mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 -n "Ramdisk Image Digicon S/A" -d ramdisk.image.gz pRamdisk_ponto_fixo
When I was using Red Hat 9.0, the script ran very well. But when I installed Fedora core 2 and ran the script, the file ramdisk.image.gz created was too small (around 40kB), when it must be around 1.6Mb. I uncompressed the file ramdisk.image.gz and mounted it, and the mount point showed that the only directory that appears (in /mnt/ramdisk) is "lost+found". This is very strange, becouse the problem appears only when I installed Fedora. Does anyone have some clue ?
Thanks, Moises Beck

Moises,
You've posted this to fedora-docs-list, which is a list for discussion of Fedora documentation. If you want help with a technical issue, you probably want to look to the fedora-list instead. Here's the address:
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list/
If you don't mind taking a minute or two, can you tell us what brought you to fedora-docs-list? We are interested because we're trying to improve the way that people find technical help for Fedora.
Thanks and good luck.
