Re: Initrd woes after upgrade from vanilla Debian Testing

Sadly, I don't know the precise details of the change. Perchance one of the kernel devs on this list can elaborate further? This is just a guess, but I believe they are switching from initrd to initramfs. It's a CPIO archive (read: tar file) that is included as part of the kernel at compile time that Linux 2.6 kernels will extract into a internal tmpfs file system and will attempt to run init from first. If this succeeds, this will be the boot proccess (that will usually do initrd style things and switch_root() to the real root file system after done). Otherwise a backwoards compatible boot occurs. This approach will allow in the future to throw out all the code in the kernel that has anything to do with finding the root file system, mounting NFS as root fs, kernel DHCP and IP setting (aka autoconfiguration) and replacing them will early user space - user space code compiled and linked against a mini-libc like library called klibc.

What (if any) should I write in the grub.conf file in my laptop to properly boot from /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1-686? 2. Is there any other configuration, which I need to carry out? Notes: 1. I still have /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-1-686 2. I do not have any /boot/initramfs* files 3. The package initramfs-tools is installed (version 0.53). 4. My laptop's installation is vanilla Debian Etch (Testing). When googling for 'initramfs grub', I saw a Wiki page which mentioned mkinitramfs, and I saw also that there is update-initramfs, but I do not understand why the Debian package installation scripts of the kernel packages did not take care of this in my behalf.

That much I have heard before. What I totally fail to understand is why this is any different than initrd. Reasons I don't see any difference: - The kernel did not have to find initrd either - it was loaded by the boot loader Which means you need boot loader to support initrd loading. Hell, it even means you need a boot loader - both of which are not obvious in embedded systems, for example. Another similar scenario is when using the newly (for some definition of newly) feature of kexec - with initrd you need to worry about allocating, copying and passing the right address to the initrd in case of a kexec() call, which is possible but a little messy. With initramfs you don't need to think about it even. - Initrd contained the code to do all the above too. If there ever was any such code inside the kernel (and I know that at least DHCP was there), initrd could have made it redundant anyways. Tht is true - but because initrd was sometime limiting, it was more difficult to demand all the users to use it instead of the kernel, so kernel support for these things stayed in there. - Iniramfs will save us the need to compile cramfs into the kernel statically, but instead will require us to compile cpio and tmpfs statically. tmpfs is always compiled into the kernel if you want shared memory to work on your kernel and most of us do. In addition, the initrd data would actually cause two copies of the data in it to be present in memory for items in it that are in use - one in the initrd blocks themselves, one in the page cache for actual use. With initramfs the entire data sits in the page cache anyway, so it's more conservative of memory. - The initramfs would still need to be generated after the kernel is compiled, or else we go back to requiring an initrd IN ADDITION to the initramfs, to store all the modules relevant for mounting root. Yeah, I know. That one bugs me two. I think we need a update initramfs make target for Kbuild. Should be fairly simple to do. In short, I don't understand why a new technology was necessary. Hope I've shed light on some of the reasons. I wonder if enough people are interested in a talk about early user space.
