Summary

0005564: Removing initramfs has not complete support

Description

After initramfs has been enabled (BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS=y) 'make' recompile the entire kernel properly. Deletion of binaries/$project does not hurt anything because 'make' redo all files in that directory.

After initramfs has been disabled (# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS is not set) clear the binaries/$project directory still does not hurt because there will be no any kernel recompilation until 'make linux26-menuconfig' take place and then:

Additional Information

Proposed solution:

1. linux CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE should be reset to "" void value
2. linux CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE should be also commented (initramfs check wast boot time)
3. make should clean binaries/$project everytime

(0013964) robang74 10-22-08 03:29 edited on: 10-22-08 04:57	Proposed solution: linux CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE should be reset to "" void value in order to trigger the reset event 1) make should verify the previous .config values which has been changed and acts accordingly 2) make should save the current .config into a project_build_$ARCH/$project/previous.config Please take a look to checkconfig.patch
