I'm afraid I have not enough knowledge on the 2.5 to have a clear
view on this topic (remember I'm no kernel guy). I'm clearly

So, it's not yet time to upload a mkinitrd, and friends, to
cooker then? Are you working with juan or nicolas planel on this,
or is it to be done later?

Thanks for your hard work..
