2009/6/21 Lenny M <kernmonk@xxxxxxxxx>: > What is CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE ? Linux 2.6 kernels bundle a small ram-based initial root filesystem *into the kernel*, and if this filesystem contains a program called "/init" the kernel runs that as its first program. Linux kernel already had a way to provide a ram-based root filesystem, the initrd mechanism. For 2.4 and earlier kernels, initrd is still the only way to do this sort of thing. But the kernel developers chose to implement a new mechanism in 2.6 (initramfs). To enable this feature select pre-build initramds in CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE. Regards, H.
