Comment 7 for bug 329098

Hi Loic,

From your test, the same 2.6.28 jaunty kernel boots up without initramfs. After I compared the jaunty kernel config with the 2.6.26 debian kernel config. I think in jaunt kernel config we should built-in "Ram block device support" CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y. This is required by booting up with initramfs.

In 2.6.26 debain kernel config
---
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT=16
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=8192
---

In jaunty kernel config
---
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT=16
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=4096
---

Could you please set the jaunty kernel config to the same as debian kernel config? and rebuild the kernel and test again?

Thanks
-Bryan
