linuxppc_2_4_dev tree

Hi folks,

How can I build a kernel image with target filesystem
mounted via NFS fro mthe dev tree? The dev tree
doesn't seem to have the target filesystem directory
structure like the ones distributed by MVista for NFS
mount.

If it's not nfs mountable, can I create a ramdisk
filesystem together with the kernel image?

Thanks,
--Khai

Er, I don't quite follow you.  If you want to build a kernel from the
_devel tree which mounts it's filesystem over NFS, you need to start
with the config file from the MVL kernel, and then turn on
CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL, and have a command line of 'ip=on'.

Yes.  Make the filesystem image, gzip it, and place it was
'arch/ppc/boot/images/ramdisk.image.gz', and then do 'make
zImage.initrd'
