-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
This morning I sat down and looked at why the initramfs kernels fail to include an initramfs. I finally found out what is wrong. The kernel shows the following output: ~ GEN usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz after which the initramfs is only 4kB big (aka an empty archive). ~From usr/Makefile: quiet_cmd_initfs = GEN $@ ~ cmd_initfs = $(initramfs) -o $@ $(ramfs-args) $(ramfs-input) That command will overwrite any existing initramfs_data.cpio.gz since the kernel was unpacked later than our initramfs_data.cpio.gz was created. I 'fixed' it by replacing cmd_initfs with 'echo'. The proper fix would have been to put the contents our out initramfs in some dir and have the kernel make its own initramfs_data.cpio.gz from that, but my way works as well :) Now we only need Thomas and Paul to combine their initramfs efforts to get one kickass initramfs for all machines with sucky bootloaders. regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFH0mlCMkyGM64RGpERAuBoAKCyrzpLNsLBMB/Nl6JSV8vBpmjVCgCfbFNJ NsJwxd7Wc0bfZUMBqW0mAAs= =qDm6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel
