Yes, it was a bug. When "initramfs" isn't used as the target filesystem
format, we forcefully disabled the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD option. This
has been fixed post-2010.08, by the following commit:
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=ee3f319249e146d92b093ad8c45a3a908d44236f
So you can either apply this patch on top of 2010.08, or use the latest
Buildroot git. We unfortunately do not maintain "stabilized" versions
of Buildroot (such as 2010.08.x) for the moment.
Regards,
Thomas
