Hmm, I recreated an initramfs for the working 2.7.27 kernel with the current tools and it created a working initramfs. Recreating the initramfs for 2.6.28-rc2 creates a nonworking initramfs. So it points towards the kernel, as the config of serial things has not changed (8250 serial driver built in in both kernels) and the same userspace toolchain makes working initramfs for old and nonworking for new kernel... -- Meelis Roos (mroos@linux.ee) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" 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.tux.org/lkml/
