Description Marin Hannache 2013-08-31 12:51:25 UTC

When building an initramfs with a custom linuxrc, if the user is using a relative path to his linuxrc file, genkernel ignore it without warning and uses his own linuxrc file, leading to an issue difficult to figure out for the user.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. genkernel --linuxrc=relative/path initramfs
Actual Results:  
The default linuxrc file is used without warning

Expected Results:  
The specified linuxrc file should be used or a warning should be issued
