Please refer to my question in Volume 8 issue 35. I am very desperate in wanting to use the initramfs in m yoctobuild for an embedded x86 target architecture. I am using Yocto Dylan 9.0.2 for crown bay.
The root directory for my boot is in /dev/sda1 After normal boot, the root directory is presumably at /dev/sda. Hence my grub has "root (hd0,0)" My grub 0.97 initrd command looks good My dmesg spits out information and stops at the line XT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data And that's where it ends up. No panic. I noticed in meta/recipes-core/images the core-image-minimal-initramfs.bbhas its IMAGE_ROOT size set to 8192. Is that too small? I found absolutely no help in the Yocto documentation on this initramfs stuff. I found a CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE and read that this tells the kernel where the initramfs is. I am not sure if I need to set it. Again, no Yocto documentation on how to use one of its builds!!!!! I presume my grub stage 1 and stage 2 completed and by the time my dmesg command dumps out messages, init is running. In fact I did see a familiar message that is in the init file. I googled all day on what this problem could be. Unfortunately a variety of different causes. I don't know where to begin. I did see a question in May 2012 from a guy wanting to see if Yocto supports INITRAMFS. The responder was referring to Grub 2.0 and said in the kernel command initrd=config-image-minimal<target>.cpio.gz /dev/ram0 Is there someone out there, especially from Yocto, who at least tested the capability of Core-image-minimal-initramfs? And not on the simulator but in a real boot? thanks Bill
