            Bug ID: 10796
           Summary: Cannot generate cpio image without selecting
                    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2017.08
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: adyke at harris.com
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

If BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CPIO is selected, the next time linux-menuconfig is run
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD becomes selected. If CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is unselected,
it is silently reselected when linux-menuconfig exits.

Therefore, it is not possible to generate rootfs.cpio without building it into
the kernel image.
