I still didn't try the package. I'm working on the kernel and i don't
want to break my system.
But, these are the changes i made in the /initramfs-tools/:
- Added Jude's:
/example/initramfs/scripts/init-bottom/vdev/
/example/initramfs/scripts/init-top/vdev/
in the following paths of the initramfs-tools package:
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom//
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top//
- Added Jude's:
/example/initramfs/hooks/vdev/
in the following path of the initramfs-tools package:
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks//
- Replaced the initramfs-tool's file:
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/init/ (which starts with udev)
by Jude's file:
/example/initramfs/init/ (which starts with vdev)
- Added the modules
/sd_mod//
// squashfs//
// loop/
to /usr/share/initramfs-tools/modules/
So, i did't change the /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions/
It should work.
Cheers,
Aitor.
