[Buildroot] challenge finding 'root fs' generation-point in Make files

[Buildroot] challenge finding 'root fs' generation-point in Make files

[Sean Parker]

Hello - 

  I'm having a hard time finding exactly where the file
'ramfs.img' is built. (I'm using PMC-Sierra's MIPS/Linux
dev board, which comes with buildroot/uCLinux/busybox,
etc.)

  When I build the image and tftp-it-over to the target,
the /etc/rc script dies trying to unpack and mount /var
from /ramfs.img. So I wanted to force remaking
$(TARGET_DIR)/root/ramfs.img, but I can't seem to find it's
generation (the only ref I find is in a Makefile.in in a
subdir specifically building PMC-Sierra
extensions/patches/rootfs files) and I suppose it's a
generic function that you folks might know of...

  Does anyone know where in the Make tree this is built so
I can prove to myself the make is hitting that place, and
try to find where I may be clobbering the file later in the
build?

  Any help appreciated - thanks
    Sean





God Bless
