Re: [Xen-devel] [DOC] Update item on FAQ
"Some distros (notably SLES9) have a mkinitrd that adds garbage to the
end of the initrd. These initrds will not work with Xen. To correct
this problem, you should gunzip the initrd, and then gzip it again."
!?!?!
What's in the garbage? Presumably it's there for some reason?
Sure it is, it is the image for the fancy console screen. Doesn't hurt
when it isn't present. And as vesafb doesn't work with xenified linux
kernels it isn't used anyway. Easiest way to permanently get rid of it
is "rpm -e bootsplash" (i.e. mkinitrd will stop appending the image to
the initrd then). Nevertheless I don't see why it causes trouble, the
domain builder should simply take the ramdisk blob and pass it as-is to
the kernel, no?
