Hello, Well: when running "make install" the initrd script is called in order to create an image. I am sure about it as I added an echo "in mkinitrd" in /sbin/mkinitrd. - I want to know how and where this mkinitrd script is called and I cannot find it. I grepped for "mkinitrd" in the kernel tree and could not find its invokation. Any ideas ?
