Subject: [PATCH 2.5] initramfs fix
Date: Thu, 07 Nov 2002 23:03:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E189uk6-0001Rj-00@brian.localnet> (raw)
Hi,
I have had a little problem with initramfs, Finally I have
found out that the problem is that when I make a flash image I do an
objcopy of the kernel image to get something which can be flashed.
Unfortunately objcopy thinks that the .init.initramfs is a useless section
and throws it away because it does not have the alloc flag set.
Here is a fix.
