Is it possible to change the image size of an initrd?
/sbin/mkinitrd snipet...
if [ `uname -m` = "ia64" ]; then
IMAGESIZE=3000
else
IMAGESIZE=1500
fi
Later on they do a:
dd if=/dev/zero of=$IMAGE bs=1k count=$IMAGESIZE 2> /dev/null
And then finally make the filesystem.
echo y | mke2fs $LODEV $IMAGESIZE >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
I didn't see anything in the documentation about this,
but I'm wondering if anyone knows if there are size
limitations on the device.
I'm trying to debug a module I wrote that is having
problems on a particular server. I've taken it as
far as I can with oops, ksymoops and kernel prints.
At this point I don't trust that the print buffer is
being flushed because the function it is dying in
doesn't do a whole lot and I've verified the pointers,
etc.
If I can get the initrd size increased, I can load
the modules and boot kgdb and poke around. Otherwise
the modules are to large for the filesystem and the
system obviously doesn't want to boot.
Any suggestions?
Thanks Folks...
