The last bit is still true - we only support a single uncompressed segment followed by a single compressed segment. I don't know how to support multiple compressed segments, as in general we can't find out how long each segment is. (But I think dracut does it, so maybe we could copy from them.) So I've applied this change: --- a/lsinitramfs.8 +++ b/lsinitramfs.8 @@ -38,10 +38,9 @@ List content of two initramfs files in verbose mode: .SH BUGS .BR lsinitramfs -cannot deal with multiple-segmented initramfs images, such as those created -when an early (uncompressed) initramfs with system firmware is prepended to -the regular compressed initrams, or when overlay data is appended to the -initramfs. +cannot deal with multiple-segmented initramfs images, except where an +early (uncompressed) initramfs with system firmware is prepended to +the regular compressed initramfs. .SH AUTHOR The initramfs-tools are written by Maximilian Attems <m...@debian.org> --- END --- Ben. -- Ben Hutchings I'm always amazed by the number of people who take up solipsism because they heard someone else explain it. - E*Borg on alt.fan.pratchett
