I have verified that this is a tar problem. I tried busybox tar for a start and the devices in dev/ get unpacked. I will try other tar versions (FreeBSD, IRIX, AIX) to see if any of those shows similar behaviour. I have also written a bunch of Makefiles to assemble initrd_pxe, filesys.bz2, modules.bz2, manix.bz2 from a set of directories, write those files to an output directory and copy them over to the SMB share, tftproot. They're quite generic so i guess other people could use that too. if anyone is interested i can put the stuff on a webserver. cheers, alex -- alexander goller al...@vi... |
