Hello,
I'm currently trying to setup an alpine with a custom initramfs and with mainline u-boot.
So far I got u-boot to boot the kernel. The kernel however seems to not get any boot args, like root= and also the initramfs is not entered at all.
I've tried the 5.10-main and 5.15-main branches. Both running into a Kernel Panic, as no root is set/can be mounted.
Is this something hardcoded in the kernel to prevent problems caused by (faulty) bootloaders (I read, that sometime this can be a problem) or is it that u-boot, not passing the args properly the the kernel and not correctly reading the initramfs?
I built the kernel with the default configs and even tried to embed the initramfs, all without success. The default config seems to be correctly configured to support this however.
