Build the muLinux kernel is not complicated. The basic guideline is
to modularize all. I leaved in the kernel only some filesystem
(msdos,vfat,ext2) and the initrd (initial ramdisk) features.
Further: add in ip-filtering and ip-masqueranding. The problem is
pc-speaker module. This is a rare patch and I cannot find it from
new kernel. Anycase, it is relatively not useful.
In the muLinux README I speak about a little patch in the init.c
component in the kernel sources. I added a simple line in
the file init/main.c
Please, locate this group of line:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD
root_mountflags = real_root_mountflags;
mount_initrd=1;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
if (mount_initrd && ROOT_DEV != real_root_dev && ROOT_DEV == MKDEV(RAMDI
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I added the mount_initrd=1. In this way, all muLinux starts via initrd,
also cloned one.
