    Question I5700 initramfs (re)sources ?

    I was building a custom kernel for development on the multitouch driver. I have to create a kernel that loads the touchscreen driver as a module.

    So I built a toolchain (thanks LeshaK for the wiki, toolchains are usually a pain-in-the-ass). I just wanted to build the "vanilla" samsung kernel, so I downloaded the samsung sources. However, I was a bit worried to see the initramfs removed in samsungs build script, but I built it anyway. The kernel was about 2M smaller then the original samsung kernel (no initramfs) but I installed it anyway My spica rebooted immediately on startup (logically).

    So I had a look at the initramfs in LeshaK's git, but I noticed that there were no sources/documentation there, only binaries . I also noticed a striking resemblance between the initramfs and the I5700 rootfs (is the initramfs a stripped copy of the rootfs?)

    Can anybody (LeshaK?) tell me where to get the sources/documentation for the initramfs? Does anybody know what happened to the original samsung initramfs?

    I know I can just use LeshaK's config and initramfs, I just think it would be very useful to have some information and sources...

    Get kernel and initramfs from Leshak's GitHub. Compile ts driver as module, copy to initramfs tree. Edit init.rc to load the module. You can find enough insmod lines. Edit the correct path @.config and the file, that include the .config. (i'm at holliday, cant see the correct filename) Make and flash your cool kernel

    Uhh, you did get the fact that he asked for the initramfs sources if possible, instead of all the binaries that are on the github repo?

    Of course there's the chance that that stuff is just a binary blob made by Samsung, but I just wanted to make sure you understood the question :P
