Anyone else have a problem with the LFS section on creating an
initrd?
Anyone else have a problem with the LFS section on creating an initrd? Me
and a friend tried the mkinitramfs from https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/initramfs.html
When we ran it, we wound up with a 770Mb file. When we extracted it with cpio, it only extracted about 64K bytes. We tried a few times and the
results were consistent.
It only contained a few files, related to microcode (I don't have access to his computer right now so I can't be more specific).

I don't normally use an initramfs but I had one with a gentoo install
and I found the same thing. Gentoo's initramfs tool (i forget what it called now) created a huge initramfs but I was only able to see the intel-ucode bits of it when I tried to look inside of it.
