Well, I am done for the day. I will try checking the drive geometry tomorow. Thanks for all your help guys.
just in short,
sfdisk -l /dev/sda
retuens this
1019 cylinders, 5 heads, 50 sectors/track
which would be 254750 sectors total.
so should I be
1024/7/32?
or would
1019/10/25
be good still?

ok, I used 1019/10/25
It still has the same problem it did before.
I will try it on a different computer, and see if that makes a diff.

Sorry for posting a half-year-old thread...

It might be a problem with the cloop.o-module in the minirt24.

I had the same trouble with the 3.4 "initrd version". It used to work in 3.3 with the "small" minirt24.gz

I diff'ed the contents of the 50MB and the "small" minirt24.gz and found different /modules/cloop.o. After replacing the cloop.o in the 50MB-minirt24 by the cloop.o from the "small" minirt24 it worked !! (at least on my machine)

The "good" cloop.o has 11655 bytes, the "bad-7-cloop-devices-only" has 11399 bytes.

Maybe the cloop.o can be replaced in the new initrd-version?
Maybe this fixes your problem?

Thanks for reminding me. I need to update that cloop module. Oh the joy of changing kernel and modules. Add to my todo list.

...just for my interest: where is the "max # of cloops" wired? In the kernel config?

thx (and please forget my other thread, sorry...)
