So you need to have an initramfs. But where can you get one?

The easiest method is to use the initramfs of the Amazon kernel as a template. Normally no modifcations to the Amazon initramfs are necessary, so you will just have to repack that initramfs. The resulting cpio archive can be used as input CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE.

I have updated the compilation post in order to reflect this.

There are also new detailed instructions available on how the initramfs can be extracted from the Amazon kernel. I added this information this post: http://www.christian-hoff.com/?p=16

Hope this helps!

And I wish you good luck with your compilation attempts.

Regards,

Chris
