Hi All,

I am new to OpenWrt stuff. My first work is to install 
OpenWRT on wireless nodes which belong to (X86, ALIX) family.  These 
wireless nodes requires initrd.img and vmlinz to get the kernel up.
But the problem is that i am not able to make proper initrd.img with the 
openwrt software.

I added some options in .config via menuconfig according to my wireless node 
and  ran "make" command of 
openwrt software with this .config.      Now after running make, I 
found  cpio.gz and vmlinz file in backfire/bin/x86/ folder

I named this cpio.gz as initrd.img,


now
 I tried to test these images with vmware and PXE set up. But it is 
giving me error that VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or 
unknown-block(8,6).

Can anyone please suggest me that how to proceed now?  I am interested to up 
openwrt kernel 
 with the initrd.img and vmlinuz files on X86, Alix wireless node. 

Many thanks in advance for reply.

Thanks & Regards,
Sachin
