First of all if your problem is only related to Buildroot then there's not much sense in adding linux-snps-arc at lists.infradead.org which is used for pure Linux kernel discussions. Then even in case of Buildroot CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE could be a problem only if you don't set Buildroot's BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS=y, see how it is done in snps_axs101_defconfig here https://git.busybox.net/buildroot/tree/configs/snps_axs101_defconfig#n7 What happens if BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS=y then existing in kernel's defconfig CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE gets overridden with new value, see https://git.busybox.net/buildroot/tree/linux/linux.mk#n217 Now if you really want to not use built-in kernel initramfs then simplest thing to do is to run "make linux-menuconfig" from your Buildroot's folder and disable or set with nothing CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE. -Alexey
