The thread bi_record and initrd

Discuss the problem of corrupting initrd by bi_record - board info record.
As I have no good background in bootloading could you please let me know
1. What is a current status of fixing the bug. Are there any
new kernel version there it was fixed

Don't know. Never ran into this problem.

2. Does this problem depends on bootloader. Will u-boot fix it?

Yes, it probably depends on the bootloader. More exactly, itt depends
on the interface between the bootloader and the Linux kernel.

U-Boot works fine if your kernel is configured for U-Boot. I  am  not
aware of a problem that needs fixing.

3. Does anybody succeded to use 2.4.18 with initrd? How?

Yes, we did. Many times. We use  U-=Boot,  and  make  sure  that  the
kernel interface fits.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
