Please note that the image you give qemu (or bootloader) to use as initrd is *not* formatted using any mkfs. It's just created with: $ find . | cpio -H newc -o > ../initramfs.cpio And the compiled kernel has no support for *any* filesystem. So, the question is: how are those files formatted? (Guess the answer is: look at the code) Thanks!
