| |
I originally started with an initrd and later changed to initramfs.
I mount tmpfs to /newroot, populate /newroot, pivot_root to /newroot (via pivot_root . initrd), kill off everything running on the old root and umount /initrd.
When I boot and I load a ramdisk image via initrd, umount works and everything continues. When I send a compressed cpio via initrd and umount, the system hangs. No messages, no keyboard response, nothing. sysrq works, but since the kernel I built was designed with size in mind, the information isn't very useful.
When I do sysrq-t, it shows mount as running. Not actually sure if it is.
