I then can boot the guest +using qemu's -kernel and -initrd options. Currently supported rootfs +types are regular partitions, root-on-lvm and root-on-lvm-on-encrypted-pv. + +generate.sh exists and will build an image. Right now, it depends on +some existing pieces of the Fedora initrd infrastructure, but moving +those out is a priority now that the basic functionality has been +proven. + +To use, just run generate.sh with an output file for the initrd. It +will copy over some binaries as well as the appropriate shared library +dependencies. If you are doing a rootfs type that requires modules +(on Fedora, this is just encrypted root now), you'll want to have the +modules tree to copy in in a modules/ sub directory. |
