Generate initramfs for live ISO

[firasuke]

Hey there,

I am trying to use tinyramfs to generate an initramfs for a custom distribution I am working on that uses musl, toybox, mdevd and libudev-zero.

Does tinyramfs support hardware detection at boot (not at initramfs generation time), as this will be a distribution initramfs that should be able to detect and load accordingly?

Are their any pointers or guides to get this working as intended?

Thanks in advance!

Hi! tinyramfs does support hardware detection at boot as long as you include all modules necessary for booting. As of how to make this all work, there is the kiss-live project which uses tinyramfs to generate initramfs for live iso. You can look into how it works and make something similar for youself.

Interesting, thanks for your input on this.

Keep up the great work!
