Wait, that's not right is it? |

|

Is the initramfs really a concatenation of compressed cpio files? I |
| 15 |
don't think it is... gzip can't handle that. |

It must be a compression of a concatenation of cpio files, right? In |
| 18 |
that case the above command line is not correct... I'd need to create |
| 19 |
the cpio file, concatenate it to an uncompressed copy of the existing |
| 20 |
initramfs, then compress the whole thing again. |

Yes? |
