I can confirm that the default config works for me, too. Both with gcc-8 and gcc-11. Using that kernel, however, I cannot use the debian-installer initrd.gz, even with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD enabled in the kernel configuration. The kernel prints a message saying that the initramfs is uncompressed, but whatever I do I cannot get it to mount the initramfs. All I get is this: [ 0.096000] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs... and then later: [ 0.480000] ---[ end trace 46a3adcb34136251 ]--- [ 0.480000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b [ 0.480000] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b ]--- Adrian -- .''`.
