We are using a piggyback.c (different from the one in chrpboot) to produce the assembly. It's probably no better or worse than the perl script you've got. > The initrd stuff would need similar treatment, but since I don't use > initrd, I haven't implemented it. We DID find it useful to have initrd support, so our Makefiles can use piggyback to make a tftp/vxworks loadable Linux kernel. If this is something you could use, please let me know.
