You could build a .deb kernel package based on the Debian kernel plus a patch to change the flash type. When you install the .deb, the initramfs is automatically generated. However, if you build your own kernel anyway, you might just as well build a monolithic kernel that doesn't require a ramdisk. In terms of building a Debian kernel, I'm not sure there's any good documentation right now. There is http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Debian/BuildImage but it's not quite up to date. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
