\shhmm...guys, what's the default ramdisk device for the ubuntu kernel?01:53
\sh(initial ramdisk I have to say)01:53
mjg59?01:54
\shmjg59, I'm trying to load a initrd image...kernel says it's loading it into the ramdisk ...but which device? ram/ram0/ramdisk? 01:54
mjg59initramfs? There isn't a device.01:55
mjg59It's just extracted into a ramfs01:55
\shmjg59, no...plain initrd :)01:55
mjg59Why are you building an initrd?01:55
mjg59That's massively unlikely to work with any kernels we've shipped in the past two years01:56

pinaguys the initrd doesn't mount the root filesystem and the initrd is mounted *as* the root filesystem?09:19
mjg59It's supposed to be mounted as the root filesystem, yes09:20
pinaok09:21
pinaso the kernel boots into the initrd, which then mounts the root filesystem and unmounts itself?09:21
mjg59Yes (effectively09:22
mjg59It's an initramfs rather than an initrd09:22
pinait's still the kernel that mounts the root filesystem at the end isnt it??09:22
pinai thought since initrd/initramfs handled mounting root nowadays it becomes a problem for kernel development as you have to match the kernel and the init(ramfs|rd) 09:26
pinaso are there tools for semiautomatially creating both or is it distro specific09:27
=== Lure_ [n=lure@89.212.183.108] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
pinamjg59?09:29
johanbrThe short answer is "yes and yes".09:29
mjg59No, the root filesystem is mounted by the initramfs09:30
pinamjg59: can you explain a bit more on that09:30
pinamjg59 i was talking about initrd09:31
mjg59Nobody uses initrd any more09:31
pinaok so eventually initramfs mounts the rootfilesystem09:32
mjg59Yes09:32
BenCpina: basically it checks the root= kernel argument (which is usually a UUID in Ubuntu) and mounts that after loading the right drivers for storage devices09:34
pinaok09:39
pinathanks09:39
pinasome confusion09:42
pinai tell you i had 3 different answers for the same question09:42
BenCfirst, you need to forget about initrd09:43
BenCI know the file is called initrd, but it's actually an initramfs (handled quite differently)09:43
pinaexactly09:43
BenCall the scripts in the initramfs are from the initramfs-tools package, and various other packages that include some helper scripts (look in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/)09:44
BenCalso /etc/initramfs-tools/09:44
BenCit's quite extensive, since it can do more than just mount a normal rootfs (netboot, resume from s2disk, etc)09:45
BenCand yes, the initramfs has to match the booted kernel, hence a separate one is generated for each kernel in /boot/09:45
BenCthat's only because the modules have to match09:46
=== Lure_ [n=lure@89.212.183.108] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
