I just figured something out that has been plaguing me, so this is an FYI:

This may be a duh!

When using the SRAM card as the boot device it is imperative that you do 
not run any card services once the box is running.  I think this makes 
the pcmcia-cs driver modules the obvious choice so that one doesn't have 
to compile multiple kernels for sram & flash.

If the pcmcia modules are loaded future (uncached) reads to the cramfs 
filesystem on the SRAM barf.  Flushing cache will then make other stuff 
barf and the whole thing croaks.

I should have a release out by early Feb.  Nothing much new, just the 
new layout and newer utilities, I hope to get some of the scripting 
cleaned up and work a little more on more comples configuration.
