Thanks, but now I'm proper confused, and by the way which initrd should I choose? I've downloaded the initrd-versatile.gz. After 'gunzip', I am left with a single file: chronos@localhost ~ $ ls -al Downloads/initrd-versatile -rw-r--r-- 1 chronos chronos 13850624 Nov 18 20:49 Downloads/initrd-versatile chronos@localhost ~ $ fdisk -l Downloads/initrd-versatile Disk Downloads/initrd-versatile: 13 MB, 13850624 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1 cylinders, total 27052 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes This is not what I expected. The thing is I am sure I've done this before on the x86 but I don't remember how. And by the way I don't have cpio here, do I need it? -- Ottavio _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
