However, "the compressed root image will not load to a ram disk".<BR /><BR />Has anyone else been successful? The booting fails when reading the root disk.<BR /><BR />Thanks.<BR /><BR /> Thu, 12 Oct 2000 20:00:43 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/red-hat-root-disk/m-p/2453108#M269 Brett Lee 2000-10-12T20:00:43Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/red-hat-root-disk/m-p/2453109#M270 You should create a Compressed Image such as bzDisk or bzImage.<BR /><BR />Larger Kernels require the use of the bzip2 compression.<BR /><BR />Have a Great Day!<BR /> Mon, 16 Oct 2000 14:02:34 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/red-hat-root-disk/m-p/2453109#M270 Albert E.
