    [PATCH] fix x86 initrd breakage · fa7f579b
    Mikael Pettersson authored
    Summary: 2.5.17 broke initrd on x86. Fix below.
    
    Why: Kai's patch in 2.5.17 to move x86-specific options from
    Makefile to arch/i386/boot/Makefile unfortunately lost the fact
    that the orginal "#export RAMDISK = -DRAMDISK=512" statement
    was commented out. (I suspect a typo.) RAMDISK is obsolete since
    1.3.something, and uncommenting it has "interesting" effects
    since the ram_size field has a very different meaning now.
    
    The patch below reverts the statement to its pre-2.5.17 state.
    Perhaps it should be removed altogether?
