Re: [PATCH] gen_init_cpio fixes for 2.5.64

[Greg KH]

ChangeSet 1.1125, 2003/03/07 16:46:13-08:00, [e-mail]

kbuild: handle any failures of the gen_init_cpio or initramfs image to stop the build.

This also shows how to add files to the initramfs build, but is 
commented out.

Patch originally done by Kai.
