(both the old patch and the new patch) If CONFIG_CRAMFS_PHYSMEM is not set, my XIP system boots fine. However, if I boot -rc7 as a uImage, the new patch works just as good as the old patch. (mounting after boot, or booting with rootfstype=cramfs_physmem) I guess I'll have to figure out what happened between -rc4 and -rc7. Damn!
