thanks for the fast answers! I'm starting to get a sense of how things work :)
the abootimg tool is indeed a great way to modify the ramdisk, *but what do I have to do in order to modify the ramdisk that lives in the boot.img file inside my device specific .zip "cm-10.1...p4wifi.zip".* Because I just realized that pulling the ramdisk from my data partition and modifying it makes no sense, as the touch script fails before even mounting the data partition. So the real ramdisk must live inside the boot.img file. I know I can use unpackbootimg to extract the ramdisk from the boot.img file, *but how can I control what goes in there in the first place, when compiling a flashable image ?* Using a broken boot.img containing the wrong ramdisk and having to later extract it, change it, and repack to everything a new boot.img and putting the new boot.img into the cm .zip seems to be the wrong approach^^ On Wed, Oct 9, 2013 at 10:12 AM, Oliver Grawert <[email protected]> wrote: > hi, > Am Dienstag, den 08.10.2013, 23:29 +0100 schrieb Dmitrijs Ledkovs: > > On 8 October 2013 22:12, Patrick Seemann <[email protected]> wrote: > > > cd $(mktemp -d) > > gzip -dc /path/to/ramdisk.img | cpio -ivd > > <edit touch/script> > > find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../new-ramdisk.img > whee ... how complex ... > > (make sure to have the abootimg package installed) > > ogra@anubis:~/Devel/tmp$ abootimg-unpack-initrd initrd.img > 77994 blocks > ogra@anubis:~/Devel/tmp$ ls ramdisk/ > bin conf etc init lib lib64 run sbin scripts > ogra@anubis:~/Devel/tmp$ abootimg-pack-initrd > initrd.img already exist. > ogra@anubis:~/Devel/tmp$ rm initrd.img > ogra@anubis:~/Devel/tmp$ abootimg-pack-initrd > ogra@anubis:~/Devel/tmp$ ls initrd.img > initrd.img > > ciao > oli > > -- > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > > -- Patrick Seemann launchpad: ~patrickseemann irc.freenode.net: seepa
