My bootloader (U-BOOT) coorectly loads the initrd into RAM as I can see. I am wondering how does the kernel get to know the address at which the initrd is loaded by boot loader? How does the boot loader communicate this to the kernel? Any code references will be appreciated. Thanks, Rajat PS: I am not using initramfs (emebedding root filesystem into kernel image). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
