Does anyone know if Rafael W knocks about on here somewhere?

arnd: hi, you mentioned that https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/6/1/677 could be merged through the efi tree. Do you plan to take a look ?
<javierm>
arnd: patch #1 has already been acked by the x86 folks
<arnd>
javierm: I suppose you meant to ask ardb? He's not here

ardb: I mailed linux-efi about the non-working builtin cpio archive. If I understood you correctly, builtin cpio is fully transparent to the loader (COFF segments in the PE EFI payload?). Am I missing some cmdline parameters?
<milkylainen>
Feels like I've gone stupid. Been handling initrds for the better part of dealing with Linux and now, all of a sudden it's acting up.

milkylainen: the builtin initramfs is linked into the kernel image, so the loader does not deal with this at all
<ardb>
milkylainen: do you see any error messages about initramfs decompress failures?
<ardb>
sometimes, when the image is truncated or otherwise corrupted by the loader, this might happen
<milkylainen>
ardb: None.

ardb: I don't know how I can mess this up. I have a rootfs cpio. Seems to be in fully working order. Included with the kernel. Kernel bzImage is loaded. Kernel says zip about any initramfs. If I add rootfstype=tmpfs then it mounts something.. without complaints, but obviously nothing correct as nothing works. devtmpfs won't mount, init won't run
<milkylainen>
etc.
<j`ey>
milkylainen: do you have CONFIG_EFI_GENERIC_STUB_INITRD_CMDLINE_LOADER=y?
<milkylainen>
j`ey: Isn't that for non-builtin initrds?
<milkylainen>
Ie, the old method of loading initrds from the stub?
<j`ey>
I didn't know it was an old way..
<milkylainen>
I think it's supposed to be done via some variable nowdays?
<milkylainen>
I havn't tried it though. I've used CMDLINE_LOADER when testing. Seems to be the same.
<milkylainen>
But the main issue is builtin cpio
