ramdisk-image-create assumes the presence of vmlinuz file in OS image. But ubuntu PPC LE images have only vmlinux file. This patch adds support for using vmlinux file. Change-Id: I5dd0b8ceb46b73be57d4c15b39b96f99b524fa3f Closes-Bug: 1413362 |

This is the ramdisk element.
Almost any user building a ramdisk will want to include this in their build, as it triggers many of the vital functionality from the basic diskimage-builder libraries (such as init script aggregation, busybox population, etc).
An example of when one might want to use this toolchain to build a ramdisk would be the initial deployment of baremetal nodes in a TripleO setup. Various tools and scripts need to be injected into a ramdisk that will fetch and apply a machine image to local disks. That tooling/scripting customisation can be easily applied in a repeatable and automatable way, using this element.
NOTE: ramdisks require 1GB minimum memory on the machines they are booting.
See the top-level README.md of the project, for more information about the mechanisms available to a ramdisk element.
