RE: [coLinux-devel] kernel patch

[peter g. <plu...@p1...>]

tell me if i'm wrong here but i thought the whole point of an initrd was to
avoid haveing too many drivers in the kernel

but as colinux is a very static architecture (because it does not deal with
hardware) i don't really see the point

Subject: [coLinux-devel] kernel patch


Just compiled a kernel for valentine version.
can I just add the new patch or should I delete and start with fresh
kernel source?

I think I figured out how to use an initrd but need to build a kernel with
support.

<bootparams>initrd=cobd2 root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc rw</bootparams>
and use the newer style of pivot root where it is explicitly done in linuxrc


I tried faking it with the new standard kernel with
<bootparams>root=cobd2 init=linuxrc rw</bootparams>
but it dies when init (linuxrc) does

thanks,
chris
