Re: [gentoo-catalyst] How is initrd built?

[Paul Smith]

OK, I'm sending a lot of mail.

But, I'm realizing that the version of busybox that's included in the
initramfs is really quite old, and that's (I think) why I'm seeing
various problems.

In my previous email I recommended using "sed -i", and I had already
looked that up in the busybox documentation and it is supported.  But,
the version of busybox that appears in my initramfs, 1.00-pre7,
apparently doesn't support that flag (I get errors when I use it in
linuxrc).


Now I'm wondering if this is the reason why my "mount -o move" didn't
work, either: maybe the version of busybox is old enough that this
option is not recognized.


Where does that busybox version come from?  It doesn't seem to be
built on my system; does it come in one of those prebuilt tarballs for
genkernel?  Is there any straightforward way to get it updated?

Or, am I totally out in left field again?
