assuming that these posts will finally make it out to the list before i take early retirement, another niggling detail i'd like clarified. toward the bottom of init/initramfs.c, we can see that the in-kernel initramfs is getting "unpacked", followed by the unpacking of an option external initrd of some format. but what are those things getting unpacked *into*? i'm assuming there's an early ramfs that's created by the kernel that all this content is being placed in, but where exactly is that ramfs created? that is, at what step in the early kernel booting? thanks. rday ======================================================================== Robert P.
