I thought that maybe the initramfs flashing code could be modified to use less memory, more easily than the kernel code. Since it uses 2 or 3 times as much memory. - dd if=$ifile of=$tmp ibs=$(($imtdsize - 16)) conv=sync + dd if=$ifile of=$tmp ibs=$(($imtdsize - 16)/8) conv=sync count=8 But, that won't work, the ibs needs to be the full size of the partition so that conv=sync will cause dd to pad fron the end of the file with nulls to fill up the partition. I don't see a good way to do it, unless something other than dd is used. -- see shy jo
