What's the error message? > 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: cpio initrd's (aka initramfs) are new - the "old style" initrd where you `mksquasfs mydir initrd.sqfs` (see above) continues to work, though. > After the kernel start, I add breakpoints at cpu_idle and do_schedule. > cpu_idle never reached, only do_schedule did. Is that strange? Until pid 1 is started, the cpu should never be idle.
