initrd.img Details

[Virendra]

Hi,

I am building the Custom Image 4.4 for BeagleBone Black using Robert Nelson. I have the the following clarification

1. The initrd.img file is missing:  After I build the "Linux Kernel" version 4.4 I didn't see the initrd.img. Can you please let me know where this file(initrd.img) will be created after building the Linux kernel.
2. uEnv.txt is not using initrd.img:  The uEnv.txt shows that loadxrd for initrd.img is not loaded and used as shown in the link https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black


Thanks,
Veera

Boot into your rootfs without the initrd.img

run:

sudo update-initramfs -uk `uname -r`

to generate your initrd.img...
