Which version (2.4 or 2.6) are you using?
If 2.6, do the following operations.
(1) Insert ".owner = THIS_MODULE," at
http://lxr.linux.no/source/fs/ramfs/inode.c#L216
(Without this, ramfs can't work safely as a module,
for it doesn't increment module usage counter,
resulting successful rmmod while mounted
and subsequent crash.)
(2) Remove rootfs_fs_type and init_rootfs()
which are for rootfs.
(3) Insert "struct file_operations ramfs_file_operations;"
at http://lxr.linux.no/source/fs/ramfs/inode.c#L45
which is the contents of linux/ramfs.h .
And comment out "#include <linux/ramfs.h>".
(4) Replace all string "ramfs" to "myramfs",
and save the source as myramfs.c .
If 2.4, do only (2) and (4).
Hope this helps.
