I do not need to use any initramfs and I do not see reason for it because of kernel usb bugs... My patch for mass storage mode in g_nokia.ko driver (which is used for Nokia N900 only) fix usage of both g_nokia functions and mass storage functions. Because in current state on N900 this is easy and *working* solution (g_nokia static linked into zImage). So I do not see reason why not to include my patch into upstream. Driver g_nokia is N900 specific and all developers can benefit this patch, because they would be able to use *both* usb networking and mass storage mode *without* need to recompile kernel and restart n900 device! And please do not tell me that either usb network or mass storage support is deprecated or so and nobody should not use it! This is only way how to develop & debug n900 device without any other Nokia (TM) equipment which is not available for non Nokias... -- Pali Rohár pali.rohar@xxxxxxxxx
