Hello,<br>I have a question concerning initramfs support.<br><br>When the kernel is built, a initramfs_data.cpio archive is created in linux-2.6.x/usr.<br>This archive can be compressed by selecting the compression type in .config (gzip, bzip2, lzma or lzo).<br>
<br>When the kernel build is finished, what does this initramfs_data.cpio become?<br>Is it put somewhere is vmlinux executable? If so, where?<br>Is it expanded in the INITRAMFS section defined in the vmlinux.lds.S<br><br>
Finally, how is this cpio archive handled by the kernel?<br><br>Thanks in advance for your help.<br><br><br><br><br>
