similar to: [PATCH] fix x86_64 initrd support

Export initrd in debugfs when retained. 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).

ROOT_DEV carries a root device number communicated in an architecture- specific way. We now pass it to kinit via the real-root-dev sysctl call. Signed-off-by: H.

Samba mount (from one of our build scripts). We decided to upgrade to RedHat 7.2 (which uses a newer version of Samba -- 2.1.1b IIRC), maybe that fixes the problem. However, I decided to submit this bug report, in the hope that it may help kill some bugs. (Remember -- the only good bug, is a dead bug :)) So, here is the dmesg output: Linux version 2.2.16-22enterprise

As promised to Andrew, and with much thanks to Andi Kleen for feedback, this is the new series of lguest patches. Main change is the move to drivers/lguest (for future non-i386 expansion), but lots of cleanups driven by Andi's feedback and the documentation effort (which made me examine every line of code). It's not perfect, but it's definitely useful. Cheers, Rusty. List of

plain text document attachment (lguest64-loader.patch) I noticed that the lguest loader code for i386 was in Documentation/lguest. Well, that's fine (I guess) but it can't just be for i386. So I made a separate directory to put the loader code in. So now we have: Documentation/lguest/i386/... for the lguest i386 loader. and Documentation/lguest/x86_64/... for the lguest x86_64

I've been having an exchange of e-mails with Bryan O'Sullivan regarding this problem. I thought it time to bring it to the list. I've run into a problem where my initramfs archives get this during bootup: checking if image is initramfs...it isn't (ungzip failed); looks like an initrd The same .cpio archive works if I don't gzip it.
