I am generating core-image-minimal-initramfs-edison.cpio.gz which is found in the deploy-core-image-minimal-initramfs-image-complete/ directory.

When I build my image edison-image initrd gets included and deployed in edison-image-edison.hddimg. But I am not using that.

I also generate edison-image-edison.ext4 which has bzImage kernel in /boot. But by Zeus, I have no idea how to get edison-image to install a file from the other recipe's deploy.

To me it doesn't make sense to include bzImage without initrd, kernel will not be able to load the rootfs without.

I know I can bundle the initramfs, and that has worked fine before. Until kernel + initrd grew above 15MB, now U-Boot won't load it. I have now kernel = 10MB + initrd = 10MB which boot fine when I copy initrd to /boot manually.

Gmane is crazy. It's me, Ferry.
I'm still stuck here. Any ideas?

Self answering, I added this to my image recipe:

ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "install_initrd; "

install_initrd() {
bbnote "Adding initrd to image ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}"
install -d {IMAGE_ROOTFS}/boot
bbnote "from ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/core-image-minimal-initramfs-edison.cpio.gz"
install -m 0755 ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/core-image-minimal-initramfs-edison.cpio.gz ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/boot/initrd
}
