So there's a later commit which adds a command-line option to force use of ramfs:
commit 6e19eded3684dc184181093af3bff2ff440f5b53 Author: Rob Landley <r...@landley.net> Date: Wed Sep 11 14:26:13 2013 -0700 initmpfs: use initramfs if rootfstype= or root= specified Command line option rootfstype=ramfs to obtain old initramfs behavior, and use ramfs instead of tmpfs for stub when root= defined (for cosmetic reasons). Can you try adding rootfstype=ramfs to the kernel parameters and see if this works? Would you be able to do this for cases where you really need ramfs? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311987 Title: deploy-ironic ramdisks do not boot: Failed to execute /init (error -28) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/diskimage-builder/+bug/1311987/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
