Hi : I find that my initramfs_data.cpio generated by gcc does not contain init
files ,which should be
executed by terminal initialization.
My initramfs_data.cpio only contains these : /dev /dev/consol /root .
where to search the init file?
You want to use mkinitramfs or mkinird or dracut or whatever your distro calls it to create one. gcc has no *clue* what needs to go in the initramfs (for example, if your root file system is on a LVM partition on a LUKS-encrypted disk, the initramfs has to do a 'cryptsetup openLuks' and then an 'lvm varyon' before the mount will succeed). Plus any modprobes that may or may not be needed, etc etc etc.
