The technique to unpack the files from the cpio archive with : cpio -idv < tree.cpio
and then packing them up with : find . -print -depth | cpio -ov > tree.cpio didn't work for some unknown reason. But the technique below worked : mkdir -p /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/cpio cp /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64.gz /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/cpio cp /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64.gz /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/cpio cp /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/initrd.img-5.19.0-15.2-liquorix-amd64.gz /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/cpio cd /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/cpio gunzip initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64.gz gunzip initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64.gz gunzip initrd.img-5.19.0-15.2-liquorix-amd64.gz echo /usr/share/plymouth/themes/homeworld/debian.png | cpio -H newc -o -A -F initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64 echo /usr/share/plymouth/themes/homeworld/debian.png | cpio -H newc -o -A -F initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 echo /usr/share/plymouth/themes/homeworld/debian.png | cpio -H newc -o -A -F initrd.img-5.19.0-15.2-liquorix-amd64 echo /usr/share/plymouth/themes/homeworld/logo.png | cpio -H newc -o -A -F initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 echo /usr/share/plymouth/themes/homeworld/logo.png | cpio -H newc -o -A -F initrd.img-5.19.0-15.2-liquorix-amd64 echo /usr/share/plymouth/themes/homeworld/logo.png | cpio -H newc -o -A -F initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64 gzip initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64 gzip initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 gzip initrd.img-5.19.0-15.2-liquorix-amd64 cp initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64.gz /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/ cp initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64.gz /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/ cp initrd.img-5.19.0-15.2-liquorix-amd64.gz /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/ Il giorno sab 22 ott 2022 alle ore 22:45 Mario Marietto < [email protected]> ha scritto: > This is what I did.
