David,
Could you provide a little more info-- error messages,
build command line.
You have confirmed that the init ramdisk itself is no
corrupt through yaboot, correct?
Stuart
I've been having some trouble
netbooting linux on a JS21 with an initramfs, and wanted to see if there were
any known issues, etc. Are there any difficulties in netbooting as an image on
a JS21 with an initramfs/initrd? Any secret voodoo? I'm using Maria's branch
of the linux-ppc kernel both on bare-metal, and on Xen, and I netboot both.
Since I've successfully compiled the Dom0 kernel into Xen, so am just
concerned with the step of getting the initramfs into the linux kernel.
I've followed the instructions
straight from the xensource powerpc wiki for building an initrd. I've also
tried compiling using the specify initramfs source config option in the build
process. I can successfully boot with an initramfs using yaboot, if I specify
an option for it, but I have not successfully booted with an initial image
over netboot, or through yaboot with all the bootargs compiled into the
kernel.
Any help or pointers are
appreciated.
Thanks
