and when I use zcat "<archive>" | ( while true; do cpio -i -d -H newc --no-absolute-filenames --quiet || exit; done ) I get the output: 19036 blocks cpio: premature end of file Which is not reassuring. Files and directories are created, but who knows it all the bits are there? But further examination shows that there is no ext4 driver in /lib. I add ext4 and ahci (even though that .ko was present) to the module list, and regenerated the initramfs. And it now boots! But why/how was ext4 not in there? Oh well, at least it works!
