From 340e48e662dc9bf79cdd9dc755cb2eb2bad580cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zdenek Pavlas Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 03:07:49 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [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.
