Trying to incorporate a cpio archive but I'm having trouble getting the
kernel to recognize the builtin archive. No printouts regarding initrd
at all.
Does the x86/UEFI stub/arch support builtin cpios? I can't find any
documentation suggesting otherwise.
Skimming through the code makes me skeptical however.
What's the state of builin cpio for x86? More spec. for a UEFI stubbed
kernel?
Regards,
Christian

The CPIO rootfs should be independent from the bootloader, UEFI stub,
etc. From the bootloader pov, it is just a part of the image.
