Hi, I'm running an ancient Linux kernel 2.4.20 (please don't ask me why :-( ) on a MIPS 4KEC. I am experimenting with initrd and my initrd fails to mount. My bootloader (U-BOOT) coorectly loads the initrd into RAM as I can see. I am wondering how does the kernel get to know the address at which the initrd is loaded by boot loader? How does the boot loader communicate this to the kernel? I can see that when emebedding root filesystem into kernel image, the symbols __rd_start and __rd_end are defined by the linker script and hence the kernel gets to know. However, how does this happen when bootloader loads the ramdisk and needs to tell the kernel? Any code references will be appreciated. Thanks, Rajat
