Re: how to build initrd?

Hi,

just make directory /mnt/initrd on the nfs root, which is now GPE image.

[blade ipaq_rootfs]# pwd
/home/ipaq_rootfs
[blade ipaq_rootfs]# ll mnt
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 28 20:15 card
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 28 20:15 cf
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 30 11:32 initrd
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 28 20:15 net
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 28 20:15 ram

Make new file linuxrc with this contents:

[blade ipaq_rootfs]# cat linuxrc
#!/bin/sh

echo "Executing /sbin/init..."
exec /sbin/init $*

I did that and GPE image seems to start booting, but after bootsplash
something is wrong. I also tried to copy modules from GPE image to initrd,
but the result was the same. Can you try that and post the result here,
specially with the OPIE image, which I dont have yet. Can you post the "ls
-R dev/" of OPIE image, because I thing that some devices are missing in
my GPE image.

Regards, Peter
