Hello, I was trying to use CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE to specify the initramfs contents, but this seems to be ignored for sparc64 in the following way. 1. Use CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE. This causes generation of $(obj)/usr/initramfs_data.cpio.xz (I am using CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_XZ=y as well), and $(obj)/usr/initramfs_data.o. initramfs_data.o is placed into vmlinux - verified with looking for some bytes of initramfs_data.o in the hexdump of vmlinux. 2. Running elftoaout on vmlinux. The initramfs xz data seems retained, again by looking for it in a hexdump. 3. Executing the so-produced vmlinux.aout via the OBP TFTP mechanism does not print "Unpacking initramfs" anywhere, and does not execute /init either. Using the piggyback tool by means of 1. not using CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE 2. make tftpboot.img ROOT_IMG=/mystuff.cpio.xz does however make the kernel recognize the initramfs environment. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
