Hi, I have a kernel image (2.6.16) that is booting fine. It came with an initramfs cpio archieve that doesnot contain the /sys directory and hence sysfs is not accessible (initramfs continues as root FS in my case, even after system boots up). So how do I add /sys directory to my cpio archieve? I know it sounds stupid, but but here it is: I am able to see the contents of cpio: [rajat@qnx-server temp]$ cpio -itv < data.cpio drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 May 25 2006 /lost+found drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 May 25 2006 /bin -rwxrwxrwx 1 rajat root 19000 May 19 2002 /bin/basename -rwxrwxrwx 1 rajat root 968064 May 16 2002 /bin/bash ... ... ... But when I try to extract it, it tries to overwrite my host root FS (/etc, /usr etc) which ofcourse I don't want: [rajat@qnx-server temp]$ cpio -idv <data.cpio cpio: /lost+found: Operation not permitted /lost+found cpio: /bin: Operation not permitted /bin cpio: /bin/basename not created: newer or same age version exists /bin/basename cpio: /bin/bash not created: newer or same age version exists /bin/bash cpio: /bin/cat not created: newer or same age version exists /bin/cat ... ... ... Any help? Thanks, Rajat -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
