Hi all, I was playing around with the kernel cpio image creation, and was wanting to add an already-built cpio image to an already-built kernel image. Instead of writing yet-another-script to do this type of thing, I noticed that mkinitcpio's documentation said that it supported this: Support for the inclusion of the initial ramdisk image in a kernel, thus making a self-contained kernel image possible. But, I couldn't find this option anywhere in the tool. Am I missing something here? Or, is the format of the cpio image that is created, suitable for including in the kernel build process itself (through the kernel config option), what you are referring to with this line? If so, that requires a three-step process: - build the kernel and modules - build the cpio image - rebuild the kernel with the new cpio image specified thanks, greg k-h
