Subject: [PATCH] powepc: Fix BootX booting with an initrd
Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2006 11:45:12 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1156297512.8433.11.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
The bootx_init.c trampoline didn't properly add the ramdisk to the
"reserve map" (list of reserved areas of memory), thus causing all sorts
of failures when using BootX with an initrd. Also fixes a possible
problem if the ramdisk is located before the device-tree passed by
BootX.
