Hi all, The 2.4.19 kernel and the current rsync kernel from source.mvista.com::linuxppc_2_4 does not work with large initrds.
The bi_record setup code in linux/arch/ppc/boot/simple/misc-embedded.c doesn't care about the initrd size. So, if you are using a initrd that crosses a megabyte-boundary you will have your initrd overwritten with the bi_record. This results in crc error when unpacking the initrd. The quick fix is to add a offset to the boot-code and to arch/ppc/kernel/setup.c. So, what's the long term solution? Passing a pointer to the kernel? / magnus ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
