Re: [coreboot] kernel payload - coreboot

8 May 2017


      I guess I will need to do more research about what the minimum requirements will be.
Looking at /boot on my current system the initramfs is about 11Mb, so that would be way too large. Can a linux payload use initramfs or only initrd?

So the question still remains as to how big the initrd image will be assuming it has to have the necessities to mount root on lvm encrypted drive. Any idea?
What do you want in there? I'm puzzled that you keep asking this given how much it can vary. OK, here's, and idea: I've seen it range from 100K to 30M.
