Can you introduce "FORCE" option in buildroot that forbid > buildroot to edit kernel and uclibc configuration? It's true that there no reason why we should forcefully disable the initramfs in the kernel configuration when initramfs has not been selected as the root filesystem: we should keep the kernel configuration as it is, leaving the possibility for the user to manually manage his initramfs. Does the following fix works for you : http://git.buildroot.net/~tpetazzoni/git/buildroot/commit/?h=for-2010.11/dont-force-no-initramfs&id=350e6d2ca811cb5fedc007f92aa6c17fbbca82d0 ?
