Custom initrd using busybox

[Moot Account]

Hi all,

Thanks all for the help, it's working now! Apparently, Ive been doing
the right initrd and initramfs for the past few days. The problem is
with my real rootfs (the one in /dev/hda2).

Please pardon a newbie. My question is: what's the _difference_
between the "buildroot/build_i686/root" folder and rootfs.i686.ext2.gz
if I enable the gzipped output? I know this is related to buildroot
but please answer if it's trivial. =)

The working setup NOW is rootfs.i686.ext2.gz which is my initrd and
also my real rootfs. The NON-working setup is rootfs.i686.ext2.gz as
my initrd and "buildroot/build_i686/root" folder as my real rootfs,
which I copied to /dev/hda2.

Again, thanks all for the tips!
