Subject: [KBUILD] I don't want initramfs in 2.6.19.1 but usr/ is still processed

Hi all :)

I've noticed that, even if I say NO to initramfs (and even ramdisk
support), the make process wants to GEN usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz by
running the scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh script.

Why is that script run no matter the initramfs support? Looks like
it only depends on the contents of CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE :?

Thanks in advance :)

I think reading Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt
will answer your question.
