Preetam Reddy

Hi,

I have been able to compile akernel that has initramfs compiled into its zimage. How do I make the kernel to pick that up. Whats the boot arguement.

Hi Preetam,

See the bellow guides:
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Initrd
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Sitara_Linux_Program_the_eMMC_on_Beaglebone_Black
www.stlinux.com/.../initramfs

It is more of a kernel configuration & startup script than bootargs.

Best Regards,
Yordan

Good morning Yordon,

I get the following:

[ 2.793370] Warning: unable to open an initial console.
[ 2.813257] Freeing unused kernel memory: 10752K (c0822000 - c12a2000)
[ 2.823917] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000100

It is not finding the init as part of the kernel. I did include the init and the image size is higher indicating its compiled in.

Regards,

Preetam
