Hello, I have built an MP3 player box at home. Well, I built one ages ago but the hard drive expired, so I made it network boot instead.
Is there a limit to the size of the initial ramdisk? I have compiled my kernel with support for initrd, and the default size is 4096kb, so I left it at that. I then created a 4Mb file on the server which I can mount as the root fs and tweak it just so... Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to include LCDproc, Lirc and IRMP3 in the same image with all the libraries and support for login etc. etc., so, can I just increase the size of the root fs file? Does its size have to match exactly the size in the kernel option? I had it all going without Lirc in less than 4Mb, but adding Lirc involves compiling more stuff into IRMP3, so it's too tight. I am using busybox to keep things small, and I have a very minimal set of files to boot the machine with. The kernel is 2.4.18 from Debian 3.0 distribution. Thanks in advance, Andy
