Hi,
> I am wondering how does the kernel get to know the address at which > the initrd is loaded by boot loader? u-boot can pass the initrd location and size as argument to the kernel.
Which kernel command line argument is that? I could only find "initrd=<PATH>". My understanding is that the u-boot loads the ramdisk image from flash to RAM and needs to pass the ADDRESS (in memory) & SIZE of ramdisk. Whereas the "initrd=" option is used to pass a initrd file location on a filesystem?
initrd documentation: http://lxr.linux.no/source/Documentation/initrd.txt > Any code references will be appreciated. I think it is setup.S (arch/<architecture>/boot) where it is assigned: http://lxr.linux.no/source/arch/i386/boot/setup.S
Any MIPS info? Thanks, Rajat
