I've not had much more time to look at this but it seems that the file
created by genext2fs is corrupt, and it appears to be some sort of
interaction with fakeroot that is causing the problem. This
observation is based on using 'dumpfs' to inspect the contents of
the created filesystem.
If I use genext2fs on it's own, the file created is OK - i.e not corrupt,
but there's some sort of problem booting it. the boot finishes like
this ...
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
Freeing initrd memoery: 1068k freed
VFS: mount root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memoery: 76k freed
Warning: unable to open initial console
and it just seems to die.
I don't really understand why no-one else has this problem. I've got
5280 blocks and 896 inodes.
I don't want to get bogged down in trying to understand/debug this
buildroot stuff, so it looks like I'm going to have to stop using it.
