• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description nilburn 2005-09-11 00:27:58 UTC]

linuxrc in initramfs links to
/var/tmp/genkernel/4078.8177.6654.17758/initramfs-aux-temp/init

$ zcat initramfs-aux.cpio.gz | cpio -tv
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        17192 Sep 11 15:50 init
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root            0 Sep 11 15:50 sbin
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            7 Sep 11 15:50 sbin/init -> ../init
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root         2299 Sep 11 15:50 sbin/modprobe
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           63 Sep 11 15:50 linuxrc ->
/var/tmp/genkernel/4078.8177.6654.17758/initramfs-aux-temp/init

I think that it should use hard link in this case.

Changed directory before making symlink, making it a relative link.  Making it a
hard link just hid the problem, it didn't resolve it.
