Thanks Ferry and Khem,

Finally built the zImage-initramfs, but it does not bundle the rootfs,
how can I included the rootfs to the zImage?

There is n old style link in  kernel.bbclass:
use_alternate_initrd=CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=${B}/usr/${INITRAMFS_IMAGE_NAME}.cpio

I think there is some new way to do it, what relevent kernel setup
variables need be defined?

Thank you.

Kind regards,

- jh
