versatile: Can't boot initramfses
Reopening the bug since:
- the patch was just a workaround to support the RAMDISK method, but doesn't
fix initramfs support
- it actually doesn't work even with the patch :-(
qemu-system-arm -m 256 -drive file=lucid.img,media=disk -M versatilepb -cpu
cortex-a8 -kernel
@Dustin: I'd love if you could assist on this bug; to reproduce, boot:
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/lucid/main/installer-armel/current/images/versatile/netboot/
with qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -cpu cortex-a8 -m 256 -kernel
vmlinuz -initrd initrd.gz

I'm a bit unclear on how to reproduce this bug. If you're looking for
me to assist with it, please provide a bit more information on how I
might reproduce it. If, instead, this is your own stream of conscious
notes and you're working on it, then that's fine too (I often use LP in
that way

Since this works on other platforms such as imx51, I suspect it's a qemu
bug; I've sent a patch to the ubuntu kernel-team list to set
CONFIG_CRAMFS=y and bump the default ramdisk size to 64 MB as on the
other platforms as a workaround for now.

@Bryan: I hope you can help me debug the qemu loader issue; I'm not
familiar with the contents of initrd versus initramfs, so I don't
understand the failure.

Importance:
The initramfs image is an optionally gzipped cpio archive (which must
have been built with cpio --format=newc in order for the kernel to
recognise it --- note this is not the default behaviour for cpio). The
filesystem is unpacked into a ramfs or similar, so there is no special
size restriction.
@Dave: Ack, I understand the same as you do so far. The initramfs is
the output of building the debian-installer packages, and it allows
setting in which format you want that file; I've put initramfs
explicitly and checked the code which does call cpio -H newc back then,
so I confirm that it's
