Yes, github version only support built-in initramfs. NFS+LFS could be also supported, and puv3-pci sim should be added at first. > - The only working image is arch/unicore32/boot/zImage. > All other variants, arch/unicore32/boot/Image and vmlinux, cause a crash. > The same (or a similar) crash is also seen if I don't provide a built-in > kernel command line and try to load zImage.
