Hello everybody,

I created a tiny root filesystem, just with Busybox, that I want to =

CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE.

   The simplest way to get initramfs working is to stuff your
root filesystem tree in a directory, and point
   CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE at it.
   The kernel build process will take care of all the cpio stuff
for you.
  Personally I think it is the easiest to maintain.

Hello Dave,

thanks for your answer. I agree with you, the easy way is to assign the=

rootfs directory. I gave the filesystem as a cpio file because it is th=
e
same (the kernel takes the rootfs and converts it to a cpio format), bu=
t
the compilation is faster. Anyway, although now I do as you said, I sti=
ll
get the error:
"Failed to execute /init
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init=3D option =
to
kernel."
I can't understand why it happens. I check the permission of /init and
/sbin/init and everything seems to me OK.

Any idea?
