Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.4
Severity: important
Hi,
some OpenFirmware implementations, such as the one in the PegasosII,
have a 12 MB size limit on kernel images, and no initrd loading
capability. The latter is worked around by merging the initrd into the
image with the "mkvmlinuz" tool, however the generated images are
unbootable if they exceed 12 MB.
It would be good if mkinitramfs would fail on systems that have the
string "platform : CHRP" in /proc/cpuinfo if compressed kernel
and initramfs together are larger than 12 MB, to stop unpleasant
surprises when booting.
