Apply these rules:
1.) If you do provide an initrd= thing, the initrd is being looked for
/linuxrc.
I have add /linuxrc, /init and /bin/init, all link to /sbin/init.
It just refuses to work ... :(
Only VIA IDE chipset maybe, but you don't usually need that for just-initrd.
You'd need that for the harddisks...
My harddisk works fine without initrd.
Make your own initrd and put a bash into it. Then start that, e.g. (for our
linux live cd), initrd=initrd.sqfs root=/dev/ram0 init=/bin/bash
I have tried these kernel parameters:
init=/bin/bash
init=/linuxrc
init=/init
init=/sbin/init
None works.
Also, after some google, I found that the format of initrd has changed.
I also tried a new initrd with cpio format. The kernel recognized it:
Boot Logs:
1) checking if image is initramfs... it is
Freeing initrd memory: 17583k freed
2) loading drivers
3) Freeing unused kernel memory: 128k freed
After the kernel start, I add breakpoints at cpu_idle and do_schedule.
cpu_idle never reached, only do_schedule did. Is that strange?
