that file is used by initramfs-tools to generate initramfs and that's the copy that you actually boot. cd $(mktemp -d) gzip -dc /path/to/ramdisk.img | cpio -ivd <edit touch/script> find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../new-ramdisk.img To update files inside your initramfs. Alternatively you can boot with following cmdline arg: datapart=/dev/mydevicename (real device name, not symlink "persistent" / "logical" name) Regards, Dmitrijs. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
