Hello,
I've successfully builded a LFS system and I'm very happy with it.
Good work, big thanks for making a such book :). However, I would like
to add a functionality before going any further, because I want to use a
very modular kernel : building an initramfs, used at the end of the
kernel boot process (of course ;)). What I would like to do precisely :
- loading chosen modules (those not loaded by udev, like apm, acpi,
etc...)
- replaying udev evenements to load modules related to IDE, USB, etc...
- doing a "pivot_root" (it seems it is called like this) to boot on
the real root filesystem
Quite standard, you'll say. But I encounter difficulties to make a
such initramfs. I know I need to build a very simple system, make a cpio
image of it an that's it. I know some tools currently exist, I've heared
about mkinitramfs but it doesn't seem to work. Internet's researches
didn't provide me useable infos (but maybe I suck ;)). But I
believe I'm not the first LFS user trying to do this, so if someone
could provide some help I would be very happy.
Thanks
Mickaël
