I'm trying to overwrite busybox' mount with my own static mount. I use # genkernel --initramfs-overlay=$OVERLAY initrd to do it. OVERLAY contains bin/mount and bin/umount. Now here's a test and the output: # zcat /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.20-gentoo | cpio -i > cpio: bin/mount not created: newer or same age version exists > 18089 blocks and of course, it's mine that is older! Is it a feature that the overlay "looks" older than initial files in the initramfs? Can't we just overwrite existing busybox links? Besides, the initramfs prooves unusable at boottime (sorry, I don't have a screenshot: it fails on a kernel panic), while still okay to be chrooted into, when deployed as in the above test. -- gentoo-catalyst@gentoo.org mailing list
