I'll keep you posted. I gave it a try in a VM but it still fails with Failed to execute /init like last time (http://i.imgur.com/h6xDu.png). The mkinicpio revision I tried was 54fd032, along with latest mkinitcpio-busybox/trunk. The command used to generate the initramfs image was `./mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26.img' from within the cloned Git repository (switched to the kill-klibc branch). Let me know if I can help with further testing. I tried in VirtualBox on Arch i686 and it worked fine here (meaning I didn't have that particular problem). It then paniced due to problems in /init. Rev 93a8be170ff841dd345084b5f5eda66c76e6534f boots fine here on VirtualBox. I don't know why you get Failed to execute /init. However, I installed mkinitcpio into the system and didn't try to use it from the git directly. We can check that problem later though. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Nice work! :) Now we also have a keymap hook. LVM, encryption, RAID and NFS are still TODO, while I will only do the first two, I hope tpowa will handle RAID and I think there's some shell code on the bugtracker to replace kinit's NFS handling. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
