Hi, I have had a little problem with initramfs, Finally I have found out that the problem is that when I make a flash image I do an objcopy of the kernel image to get something which can be flashed. Unfortunately objcopy thinks that the .init.initramfs is a useless section and throws it away because it does not have the alloc flag set. Here is a fix. /Brian Index: usr/Makefile =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvs/linux/usr/Makefile,v retrieving revision 1.1 diff -u -r1.1 Makefile --- usr/Makefile 5 Nov 2002 15:18:25 -0000 1.1 +++ usr/Makefile 7 Nov 2002 21:59:31 -0000 @@ -17,6 +17,7 @@ $(OBJCOPY) $(ARCHBLOBLFLAGS) \ --only-section=.init.initramfs \ --add-section=.init.initramfs=$(obj)/initramfs_data.cpio.gz \ + --set-section-flags .init.initramfs=alloc \ $(obj)/empty.o $(obj)/initramfs_data.o $(STRIP) -s $(obj)/initramfs_data.o
