...As a side effect, initrd_start and initrd_end are not cleared when the initrd is retained. After this patch, one can then copy the initrd space from debugfs and pass it to kexec as the initrd, or do something else with it (maybe it was an initrd not an initramfs). Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm at bga.com> --- This is a lot more reliable than extracting it via dd from /dev/mem. Currently debugfs doesn't have a getattr even for blobs, so one has to cp elsewhere before using kexec from kexec-tools.

...hat these fields need to be signed due to comparision to -1, but only changed the type from unsigned char to char. However, it is a compiler option if char is a signed or unsigned type. Change these fields to signed char so the code will work with all compilers. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm at bga.com> --- I did not look for other fields that might be char. PowerPC compilers default to unsigned char, and aparently arm does as well from a quick google search, to name two examples. diff --git a/fs/ocfs2/ocfs2.h b/fs/ocfs2/ocfs2.h index 1efea36..70dd3b1 100644 --- a/fs/ocfs2/ocfs2.h...

...e as the that specified for the file. hpa points out that you should be careful with the headers, use unique inode numbers and/or add a cpio header with just TRAILER!!! to reset the inode hash table to avoid unwanted hard links.

The problem is that

Trying to use klcc to compile an application I was getting gcc: no input files. Tracked it down to filename2lang having and extra space, causing .S files to be labeled "obj".

Hello, is there a way to extract an initramfs from a running kernel? and from a kernel lying on a disk? If yes, how? Thanks Eurolines : Voyagez au meilleur prix : http://www.alinto.com/pub/

With the recent kernel patch viro@www.linux.org.uk[torvalds]|include/linux/ romfs_fs.h|20041006145144|23705 aka "romfs endianness annotations" utils/fstype.c no longer links because cpu_to_be32 is undefined. Options: 1) Change the header to be ok for userspace diff -ur ../linux-2.5/include/linux/romfs_fs.h linux/include/linux/romfs_fs.h --- ../linux-2.5/include/linux/romfs_fs.h
