Jan: To summarize: 1. My smaller guest initramfs (~30MB) unpacks properly, but then falls into the dracut emergency shell. Now that i'm using minicom it no longer scrolls repeatedly. I still can't get to a proper kernel login prompt. 2. My larger root initramfs (~70MB) fails to unpack, and also jailhouse fails to create the guest if I attempt to allocate more memory. 3. I can get to the kernel login prompt (and login successfully) if I use your rootfs.cpio binary. This option so far is the most promising.
