From: Zdenek Pavlas Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 11:07:49 +0000 (-0800) Subject: [PATCH] BLK_DEV_INITRD: do not require BLK_DEV_RAM=y X-Git-Tag: v2.6.17-rc1~785 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=340e48e662dc9bf79cdd9dc755cb2eb2bad580cd;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git [PATCH] BLK_DEV_INITRD: do not require BLK_DEV_RAM=y Initramfs initrd images do not need a ramdisk device, so remove this restriction in Kconfig. BLK_DEV_RAM=n saves about 13k on i386. Also without ramdisk device there's no need for "dry run", so initramfs unpacks much faster. People using cramfs, squashfs, or gzipped ext2/minix initrd images are probably smart enough not to turn off ramdisk support by accident. Cc: Al Viro Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: "H.
