it didn't worked, but it works with the debian's mkinitrd
I'll have a look, thanks :) LFS's mkinitrd is a good reference too.
have you missed that cramfs is readonly ? we actually are missing /dev/root as "mkrootdev /dev/root" fails -- read only fs but it probably needs quite deeper changes
Yes, I missed that, sorry about that :-/ It was a bit tired, I haven't even slept an hour last night ...
will someone hear me please. i posted about the same issue last time we spoke about replacing initrd fs. you need a writable dev! for devfs this is easy without devfs it is not! if you use 2.4 with LVM1 you also need a writable /etc (this requrement can be lifted with LVM2, i believe)
I am trying to find a way around it, probably my mkinitrd which already creates device nodes on the fly has only to be slightly tuned: mount a tmpfs on /dev and create the nodes i forgot about. I will try to add cramfs/tmpfs support if someone kindly notices the fact i am doing it, if this stuff is not scheduled to be merged sometimes then i will not bother.
