/tmp as ramdisk?

Moin,

with kernel 2.6.24 (kubuntu 8.04) I had some directories as ramdisk to save my 
(early) ssd. From the fromer /etc/fstab:

none      /tmp/         tmpfs defaults,size=180M
none      /var/log/     tmpfs defaults,size=20M
none      /var/run/     tmpfs defaults,size=1M
none      /var/lock/    tmpfs defaults,size=1M

This does not work any longer with 2.6.32 (10.04). I managed it to mount the 
/var/* directories, but not /tmp.
tmpfs      /var/log/     tmpfs defaults,size=20M 0 0
tmpfs      /var/run/     tmpfs defaults,size=1M 0 0
tmpfs      /var/lock/    tmpfs defaults,size=1M 0 0
#tmpfs      /tmp/         tmpfs defaults,size=180M 0 0

Somewhere in the mount-all routine the process fails to mount /tmp. But if I 
log in I can mount /tmp and continue to boot.

Any hint?
Thanks
