I must admit I don't have much experience with any "earlier" initramfs. Maybe you can point me at some links about this?
Unless I'm missing something, this "early" initramfs is an userspace artifact in the construction of the initramfs, so the kernel has no way to distinguish one from the other. Thus, we cannot mount one and not the other. -- Ezequiel García, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android Engineering http://free-electrons.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
