initramfs-tools is test on i386, ppc, amd64, and sparc.  ia64 are having issues that I will start tracking again when Breezy releases (I've just run out of time for now), but both appear to be solvable.

On i64, the inflate code misreads the magic number, I suspect that get_byte is behaving poorly.

On hppa, I am getting a segfault in run_init and an lseek error in fstype.  It's probably something simple like a register that needs to be setup.

I have not tested on mips, mipsel, arm, m68k, s390 or sh.  klibc failed on mips and mipsel, which isn't promising.  It compiled on s390 which is surprising.

We have a workaround for the compile error for sparc.

The ports that I listed as known-working above are using initramfs-tools for the Breezy release.  So I generally *hope* they're well enough tested.  I'll let you know in a week ;)

Tks,
Jeff Bailey
