Well, i believe there is no reason for any of the 2.6 arches to still use cramfs, not sure though. In any case, powerpc can handle initramfs just fine (and indeed, it is used by initramfs-tools for the real ramdisk), and i believe ubuntu also produces initramfs for their installer incarnation on powerpc. So, the attached patch uses an initramfs for all powerpc subarches. Tested on IBM pSeries p505. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
