Hello,
It seems that when one uses an initrd with Linux, the initrd is unzipped.
If I'm right, since Linux is able to unzip the initrd too, and since it
first moves the initrd to a ramdisk, this is not practical (one waste
memory).
If I'm right about the unzipping, where in the sources is this done ?
Looking at load_initrd I have found nothing explaining the behavior.
Or since I use a boot via network (tftp) is there something here explaining
that ?
TIA
