If the find(1) in scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh generates any errors, it will cause gen_initramfs_list.sh to fail (because of "set -e"), however the errors from find are not printed to the user. This is rather confusing:
~/src/powerpc$ make O=~/build/powerpc-cell32/ make[2]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 1 make[1]: *** [usr] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** wait: No child processes. Stop. make: *** [_all] Error 2 It is much easier to work out what the problem is if we let the errors from find hit the console, eg: ~/src/powerpc$ make O=~/build/powerpc-cell32/ find: /home/michael/initramfs-source/home: Permission denied find: /home/michael/initramfs-source/lost+found: Permission denied find: /home/michael/initramfs-source/opt: Permission denied find: /home/michael/initramfs-source/root: Permission denied make[2]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 1 make[1]: *** [usr] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** wait: No child processes.
