I've compiled the mainline kernel (without patches) and trying to run the generated uImage and the ramdisk of the debian installer.
My problem is that if I use the precompiled kernle 5.1.2 the initrd is not loaded beacuse the ramfs is disabled. My compiled kernel with BLK_DEV_RAM=y instead of external module fails with these errors
If I use the precompiled kernel from https://themm.net/public/ex2u/start the ramdisk is loaded and the installer popups immediately in the serial console.
Any help?
Thank you
*** EDIT ***
I've managed to start the netinstaller of debian moving the address where uRamdisk is loaded to 0x2000000, the same used in case of tftp loading
Why this behaviour was not evidend with older kernel versions?
