I would like to see a way to construct a general purpose initramfs image that fits everyones need. It should also be part of the normal kernel build process. Whats really missing right now: * UUID and LABEL detection in klibc mount, libblkid and libuuid from e2fsprogs should be part of klibc mount * all the root on raid, lvm, evms should be sorted out. you are the one who can implement it. * fsck for jfs, its probably the only root filesystem that requires manual fsck All this requires glibc right now in our initramfs image. Once we have klibc support for all the common root filesystem stuff, it can be part of kbuild in one or another way. The whole topic will give a larger thread than reiserfs, bk and cdrecord together. So I will better shut up now and implement it, one day... -- USB is for mice, FireWire is for men! sUse lINUX ag, n�NBERG
