Q: Is there a revision control repository of the initrd-tools that I can use to keep track of it's development, especially if a transition to initramfs is planned? I tried to change the mkinitrd command to a shell script that created a compressed CPIO archive, but it did not work right. The 855resolution hack did not seem to "take", but worse, the 'mtrr' hack did not work... I think it's becuase the kernel does it's thing after the initramfs is finished.
The initrd stuff is tracked at http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/trunk/utils/initrd-tools/?rev=0&sc=0
